As you view this we are currently on vacation in New Mexico.
We may revisit Elephant Butte along the way.
Elephant Butte Lake (a reservoir) is a failed Bureau of Reclamation project from the 1920's. The high evaporation rate caused the 'lake' water to be too salty for agriculture. So now it's just a recreation spot.
