About 15 miles outside of Deming, 100 miles or so from El Paso, a mystery lies in the middle of the desert that could connect the area with another dimension.

In all my years here, and despite a ton of visits to Deming, I had never heard of this. After reading about it, I now know about it ... hell if I understand it though.

It's a pair of triangles lying in the desert, pretty much in the middle of nowhere it seems, one of which has a plaque on it. See a picture here.

It is said to be some sort of a historical site ... at least according to atlasobscura.com anyway:

There you will find a Kcymaerxthaere Historical Site known as the Faltese (Pomzhirl) Impact Site and a related marker that tells talks about unusual way that the Chej-Asos people perceived triangles–or is it the unusual way we perceive triangles? - atlasobscura

The impact crater is said to mirror the one left by a pomzhirl (a fraction of a grain of sand) that crashed into the ground after the cataclysmic explosion that ended the Battle of Some Times. - atlasobscura

Treat the site (and all sites) with respect, but there is a set of steps where one can climb up the crescent of stone for a lovely view, and even a place to rest in the rock–but look before you sit anywhere in the desert. - atlasobscura

So, yeah ... there you go. Your first day trip/vacation destination for 2024. You can read a little more about this place here.

Atlas Obscura is right about watching where you sit out there ... the desert is loaded with creepy crawlies.

Texas has an estimated 7.2 million dogs, more than any other state, this according to the American Veterinary Association. Safe to say, dogs are a Texan's best friend. But perhaps you’re interested in branching out a bit and adding a less common exotic pet to your home.

Granted a few of these exotics are regulated and will require permits.
