Pancho Villa was here....


 

What the heck? Another post? Is the world going to end...well not just yet I hope.

Same camera as before, the Holga wide pinhole which I love all over again.

Campsite at Columbus, New Mexico...yeah, where Pancho Villa raided the town... it's an interesting story with a lot of intrigue and mystique actually.

Pancho Villa State Park sits a scant three miles north of the border with Mexico and is quite sparse as state parks go. 

I loved it here! Not crowded, wide open spaces. Lot's of camper spots, scrubby trees with attitude and enough sky to fill a few rolls of film.

The State Park has a nice museum, and the historical museum adjacent to the SP has an old train caboose and lots of information about the town, the railroad and old "stuff". The museum is free and the state park has a minimal entrance fee which it well worth the cost.  It's about a five hour drive south of Albuquerque, with T or C , then Hatch and then Deming along the way for some added stops and good food.
