Last New Mexico Stat Park this year..

Departed Deming, headed to Las Cruces and Leasburg Dam for a few days, then on to Texas. First stop was the USPO in Deming to mail out  a few items. Then headed to St. Clair Winery in Deming to check it out.

After two "free" taste test I chose the three wines above,
not a bad deal three wines some olives and two small glasses for
$34.03 

Then it was on to Las Cruces and a stop for supplies and coffee. Coffee at Starbucks, supplies ( pills ) at Albertson's.

Last stop before the State Park was to check out Fort Selden State Mon. Follow the Url below for a brief outline about the fort.

Only building made from stone was the jail..

Sad that we are allowing history to melt away with the rain and wind.

Once again I come across history of the "buffalo Solders " seems that the black solders of the USA have a right to be PROUD!!!!

Did not know this... 

Does not look like it was ever a home... sad....

Made it to Leasburg dam and will spend four nights here before moving on..  Not much to take photos of but will see when I take my hike tomorrow..
