We went for lunch the other day and it took 15 minutes for someone to come over just to get our drink order after we were seated. When we made our order, it took a while for us to get our food and we had to keep finding somebody to refill our drinks.

Really good dinner!!!! My mom had great pasta…read morebut.. the chicken was over cooked. Also I had fired shrimp. It was O.K. if you fired shrimp you might like it.

Have a nice time there !!!!!!!!!

The short drive home was treacherous through dark mountain roads and rain, and with echos of Ghost Riders in the Sky!

We purchased our tickets online, and were scanned in and ready for the movie. With reserved seating and with plushy recliners, you can't go wrong g!

She made pleasant conversation and always had a lot to say about the wines. However yesterday she wasn't there and therefore the experience was lacking. They were even handing out plastic cups instead of their normal glasses when we spent over 30.00 for a bottle. I'm sure I'll go back but I hope there's more of an effort to enhance our experience,

Stanton, who was killed in a skirmish with the Apaches, Fort Stanton was built in 1855 by soldiers of the 1st Dragoon and the 3rd and 8th Infantry Regiments to serve as a base of operations against the Mescalero Apache Indians. It served as a military fortification through 1896. Built of local stone, the sturdy 1855 buildings have lasted to this day. The Fort was named for Captain Henry W. Stanton, killed fighting the Apaches in 1855 near present day Mayhill. Troops marched out from the Fort to search for and fight the Mescalero Indians during numerous campaigns from 1855 until the 1880's. One of the best preserved forts in America from that Era. Then passed by the cemetery and up to Mt. Serra Blanca reaching 10,090 ft. Beautiful scenery. Worth the trip!

This is one of the coolest museums I have visited. Not only am I interested in environmentalism,…read morebut I also find this cultural icon quite charming. I think Smokey is one of the few real heroes out there, who have made their way into pop culture. I also think that everyone has had a Smokey the bear t-shirt at some point in their life, maybe a hat? Coming here, I learned about the origin of fire towers and controlled fires. There is reference to firefighters and firefighting, so this may also pass as a fire fighter museum. But the real reason I came here was to admire and look at the memorabilia of Smokey the bear. I really enjoyed seeing all the toys and items collected by the museum. I am really happy to have made it here.
