The Florida Mountains

Little Florida range on left & Big FL range on right

These Florida mountains are in SW NM just south of Deming.  Two relatively small ranges running parallel to each other north to south and about 3 miles apart.  Looks like Big Florida range to the west is about 5 miles long and the other one is a little shorter.

The real story!

We are in Rockhound State Park which is at the base of Little FL range near the north end.  Nice state campground that is apparently a favorite for snowbirds. 
The camp host told us their busy season is just starting! Of course BJ has become a rockhound so this is a great place for her.  There are a number of trails in the mountains and for a change they are not delineated by signs to stay on the trail.  Here you can wonder freely among the rocks!!  And, each person can take up to 15 pounds of rocks with them!!  So if any of you all get a box of rocks from us you will know we have run out of space to store them!!
