Twilight at Elephant Butte

[oldandhappy]

1. Beautiful, and thank you.

I have camped there several times. Went into T or C everyday to go into the hot tubs, smile. Loved watching the birds. I recommend Bosque del Apache, a reserve for winter birds north of T or C, maybe an hour, can't remember. A lot of birds are gone by now. If you are there next winter, go to the reserve between mid Nov and mid Feb. Hundreds of thousands of birds come in. Great visitors center with lots of displays to explain and some videos as I recall that show how the river water is diverted thru the reserve to grow corn for the birds.

Used to camp in northern CA in the summer and thot seeing three sand hill cranes was a triumph. At Bosque you will see dozens in one corn field.

Glad you are loving this part of N.M. Happy memories for me.
