Los Lunas, New Mexico,
To see the Ten Commandments written in stone there 2,000-3,000 years ago. I want to compare it to Nabetean writings, Phoenician, and other alphabets I have.. sadly, some tourist kids have been defacing it.

lots more info and photos on it on the web

Doubt that would make a great family vacation, more of a fun research hike/trek.

I'd also like to see and pole around where the Bat Creek inscription was found

Next is Carlbad Caverns. Then thru Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Next stop - Tombstone, AZ then Old Tucson, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon.
Turning back east we plan on a more northern route going thru Durango. Plan on taking the train from Durango to Silverton and back.
Other stops include Santa Fe and Fort Sumner. Always wanted to visit Billy the Kid's grave. Although someone tried to convince me this morning that he is actually buried somewhere around Cleburne (first I've heard of that).
Finally, our last stop will be the town of Merkel, TX where, according to my Aunt, my Great Great Grandfather built every brick building in the town (including the first permanent structure) from 1910 to the early '30s. Evidently the town has a museum in which my GGGF is well represented. I'm also told that my Great Great Great Grandmother is buried there (the town, not the museum - that would just be creepy).

So anyway, any suggestions? I would hate to drive pass the world's largest ball of yarn and never know it.

Stay home, drink and eat lots, sleep late, go to the range and mow the yard???

Let's all chip in and help 'em out. We need more taxes!
