Travels of the Agnew Family in the "Dog House" 2006-2007

We enjoyed yesterday so much we decided to stay another day and repeat it. The thought of burgers got out us off the lounge chair and into the village of Columbus for some fantastic burgers. After touring the town (5 minutes at the most) we came back to the state park and headed to the museum. The state park is call Poncho Villa after the Mexican general who attacked the village on March 9, 1916 (we missed the re-enactment) and the exhibits in the museum explain how the attack occurred and the subsequent chase into Mexico. Pancho Villa was not captured but the Americans did learn a lot about staging campaigns using new technology — cars, trucks and aeroplanes. Oh, and we did manage another walk to look at birds — Gambel quails were my highlight.

Boys and their toys!
