Last day in Deming. After Judy returned from Curves we headed out to Columbus NM, 34 miles south. This was the small border town (still is, 1500 people) that Poncho Villa raided with 500 Mexicans in 1916. He killed 7 soldiers and 10 civilians. He lost over 90 and was persued by General Pershing into Mexico for almost a year but wasn't captured. Pershing had to return for WW I. We visited two museums before crossing into Polomos Mexico for lunch. As best I could tell I had a lime burrito. This was a very small place compared to the Mexican city we visited while in the RGV. One lane crossing, no Federales, no charge to cross or reenter oe park, one decent restuarant and store. There were just a few Americans, looked like retirees from RVs out to lunch. The state park in Columbus had a sizable CG. After we reentered the US we stopped at the duty free store, bought 2 liters of rum (1 bottle each) for $15.50, returned to Mexico, turned around and crossed back into the US of A with our purchase. After we were home the German slave driver made me wash the truck before dark.
