Elephant Butte Lake
We went to Elephant Butte Lake to take a look around and walked a couple of short hikes. It reminded me so much of Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The water level so low after so many years of drought.
First wild life sighting, next we saw a deer but could not get a pic, she was moving fast!
Could not walk across the dam, just like at Hoover Dam, but here there is noooo water anywhere near the dam as you can see!!
Not great pics of butterflies.....but dang, they are fast!!!!
A few of the buildings erected by the CCC and no longer in use....
