John and Darliene Hertweck lived for ten years in their RV, wintering in the South and touring in the North during summers. Then they put a mobile home in an RV park to continue their association with RVers and snowbirds. For the last eight years, as volunteers at the Deming Chamber of Commerce, they regularly talk to snowbirds. They could be considered "snowbird experts."

"House of cards" has a whole 'nother meaning when it comes to St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Deming, New Mexico. According to legend, in 1892, the original structure of this frontier church was financed by $40,000 of winnings from a poker game with Doc Holliday in attendance and hosted by the notorious Lottie Deno. And, for a fact, Lottie Deno made one of the altar cloths used by St. Luke's. The church's design was an architectural triumph of sorts and one popularly celebrated in its day - train station modern. The land for the church was donated by the old Santa Fe Railroad in 1890. The plans for the original structure were those of a train depot. Compare it with the local chamber of commerce and visitor center which occupies an old train station and you can see the resemblance.
