Great time at Rockhound SP with Bill & Jean. We haven't camped together since April so lots of catching up to do. They bought a new deisel Allegro... beautiful with so much room! Got to keep John away from the RV dealers ;-)) First night was a great dinner in their new place. 
The next day we spent the day in the car but it was soooo worth it. Drove to Silver City for a quick stop at a fun coffee shop. Then on to the Catwalk National Recreation Trail. What a fabulous place! Pretty canyon with a creek wandering through it and big Arizona Sycamore Trees turning color. The catwalk was used to maintain a pipeline that ran down the canyon to a mill and mine. We had a great walk on a sunny crisp day. On the way home we stopped at City of Rocks SP. Weird and interesting rock formations. A good place to come back to.
The next day started out with a fun hike at the campground with view back to our sites.
Then went to Spring Canyon, just up the road to look for Ibex. The Shah of Iran gifted 27 Ibex in the 70s and they herd has grown to around 500. They had been spotted the days before but unfortunately we didn't see them. Had a nice walk instead.

Thurday was a great potluck dinner with 100 people and tons of yummy food. Talked to the kids by phone. Shannon & Chris did a wonderful job of hosting their first Thanksgiving including Erik, Jenn, their Dads & Matt. I'm so proud of her and a bit sorry I wasn't there to enjoy.
