For the last several years, our crew has made PA Dutch donuts (Fastnachts) for other folks in the RV Parks where we are staying. This year, Fastnacht Day (aka Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, etc. - depending on your location) falls on a travel day for us and we therefore decided to hold it a bit early here in Elephant Butte. No one here had ever heard of a Fastnacht, but they were enjoyed by all!
This area has many "Ghost Towns" - vestiges of the gold and silver mining days. We've now visited several of them and will probably see a few more while we are here. Click here for some photos from our trip to Chloride and there is info about the town here if you are interested.
