Members of the New Mexico Roadrunner Chapter of the Red Hat Society in Alamogordo, New Mexico took a day trip to Fort Stanton, New Mexico to explore and learn more history of this fabulous state. It did not turn out exactly as envisioned (State funding has been cut way back) but we made the best of it anyway.
The museum is stock full of antiques and information about the soldiers and Apaches who inhabited the area. One could actually spend the whole day in the museum thoroughly studying and reading all available historical information of this area.

Alice, Evans and Margie joined us later on. Afterwards, we went to lunch in Capitan, New Mexico and it was quite tasty. It was a FUN trip and we would still like to go back when they have funds to do reenactments again. We toured the soldiers barracks and saw their uniforms and shoes and various other items like spittoons and such.
This is all I have to say for now.
