Meeting David Martin and his Collection

[David Martin]

Those displays were unfinished when I got them, requiring some work and I built the stands they rest in. DM

Fun Thread!!!

I am going to travel to David's country in Feb. for a big show and bring my 300s. He and I bet Skyhorse will be there and maybe a few more Buckaroos.
We will call it the Southwest conference of the BCCI. Anyone willing to travel to NM come join in. 300Bucks

but, but, doesn't it snow there in Feb?

 

[David Martin]

It could. But Las Cruces is known for its mild sunny climate year round. Its in the southwest desert. Elevation being 3800 ft. snow would melt quickly. DM

My wife has never been to Carlsbad Caverns, one of those ' you need go in lifetime ' places.....its just 'up the road' so to speak from LC.......300

 

[David Martin]

That is a grand cavern to see. To us its well worth the trip. DM

That was a fantastic place to see. The Mrs. and I took a trip there a few months back. Awesome stuff, but bring some comfy walkin shoes.

 

[David Martin]

Good advice, Kim. Plus, check to see if the bats are still present and haven't migrated. Then go to that viewing area at sunset to witness their exit. It is stunning! DM

 

[Joe Houser]

Nice collection Dave, and getting nicer all the time. Thanks for sharing the picture Kyui!

 

[skyhorse]

She will have fun visiting Old Mesilla too,just a few miles away.

 

[David Martin]

Indeed. Make reservations to eat at La Posta restaurant. Its in the square right across from the old jail where Billy the Kid escaped. A place for each of you Craig, the restaurant for her the other for you. Also, inside there is a talking Myna bird that says, hello cutie when you walk in. DM
