On the way to Las Cruces, New Mexico for a rural land photography shoot, I got to make my second visit to Elephant Butte Lake. This was actually the very first non-Albuquerque place I visited when I first moved to New Mexico in February 2017. Therefore, this is my only "old memory" of New Mexico (technically, in 2000 I visited Roswell and Carlsbad Caverns and Bandelier National Monument too, but that's a whole other lifetime).
This time Jessica and her dog Artie joined me and my dog Kiki. And it was a lot warmer! And I now have a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk so I was able to drive and park right on the beach, which when not looking toward the water, looked more like an alien lunar landscape!
