2000 Aug 5 Elephant Butte Lake

Weekend visit to New Mexico Farmers Market at Las Cruces, New Mexico 

Enroute to Elephant Butte Lake, NM with my Austrian and French coursemates.

Elephant Butte Dam was constructed in 1911-1916. It was the largest structure in the United States to impound water in the largest man-made reservoir at that time.

306 feet high and 1,674 feet long retaining a reservoir that covers approximately 36,000 acres.

Wooohoooo....

Overnight stay at Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
