When I was on my way to Ranger Ron’s house I called him to let him know I was coming. He told me that he had gone to town (50 miles away) to do some shopping and that he would be back soon. He suggested that I stop at the Chiricahua Desert Museum to take in some of the local scenery. For those people who do not know, the area of southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona is prime reptile country. I was told this by the owner of the Chiricahua Desert Museum. It seems people from all over the world come here to study reptiles. There is an interesting exhibit hall and an even better gift shop.
