Gila Wilderness, New Mexico
Home of Pat Mc Garret, the Sheriff of Lincoln, New Mexico. Mc Garret shot another Lincoln resident, Billy the Kid. You can see the bullet holes from this gunfight in the walls of the Lincoln jail.
I have been scanning film that I shot 23 years ago and found this photo of Rattlesnake Springs which is located between Carlsbad and Artesia New Mexico. Rattlesnake Springs is an oasis in the Chihuahuan Desert. It supports cottonwood trees, attracts birds, and was a favorite picnic area for me and my girlfriend who is now my wife.
