To obtain more information, we needed to stop at the valuable visitor's center first. There, the woman in charge, Brandy, gave us a plethora of information but urged us to visit this dynamic museum first to get a more well-rounded understanding of the area. It was easy to find--the classical structure is a former armory & home of the New Mexico National Guard. Following the posted directions, we entered this building from an easy ramp down, through the door into a brightly lit space. Immediately, we were greeted by the caretakers who gave us a map and ushered us on into the displays, saying "Everything here has been donated." What an amazing array of donated history, made even more impressive with how it had been arranged--not a bit of space was wasted, even items hanging from the ceiling. Yet it was not chaotic or did anything seem out of place--very impressive. I was particularly interested in the military room, specifically with the Norden Bombsight, which was noted in "Unbroken". Another area of great interest was the lace & quilt room on the second floor (take and elevator or steps with good handrails), where the word "TAT" has an exact meaning related to the intricate patterns formed in delicate lacework. I work with numerous high school students about where they see their future, and a some of them are quite interested in working "tat" or "tattoo". Now I'll be able to give them a bit of a connection, that "tat" also describes very precise clothwork, which looks like skin tats. Anyway, this museum is FANTASTIC and free; run by volunteers and donations. We both made deposits in the box. Adjacent to the building is the Veterans' Park, especially for the Bataan Death marchers who came out of Luna County; these, along with other military members are remembered and honored. I was impressed with one of the armaments on display is a "touch" unit, and saw a pair of children sitting in the bombing seat of a howitzer. Ironic that in war/combat, it is an instrument of death; but here in a small space of honor, it is an instrument of joy, delight, & distraction. I loved it. This is certainly 5-star, and gets my "Wheel of Approval!"

He met us in his John Deere golf cart late after sunset and took us to our assigned campsite. I expected park personnel to be off the clock at that time of night, but he was waiting for us when we arrived. The park was very clean and well maintained. We rock hunted the first am and found the park rock trails pretty much picked over for cool rocks to collect. But still ended up with a lot of rocks to take back to Texas. It is a beautiful park with dramatic temperature changes from day to night due to the much lower humidity than Austin. Sunrise and sunsets were dramatic and beautiful. We very much enjoyed the lake and when our check out date arrived we're sad to call our visit to an end.
