| Elephant Butte State Park, New Mexico |
Elephant Butte State Park isn't far from the New Mexico town, Truth or Consequences.
Elephant Butte has suffered from the recent drought. Hopefully, the big rains in 2013 and rains in this year's monsoon season will go a ways to restore its traditional depths. Mm, doesn't look as good as one might have hoped.

On a pass-through in May 2013, I saw a fair number of quail. Can you find them in the photo above?

In 2010, my mother and I passed by Elephant Butte on a road trip.

This trip included a side jag over to the Spaceport. To get to the Spaceport, we dead-ended at the ghosty town of Engle, New Mexico, and we hung a right through cattle land.

In fact, we didn't even know we were headed to the Spaceport. We turned right on a whim rather than backtrack. Over at City of Dust recently, the author wrote about Engle.
