Elephant Butte & Truth & Consequences, NM











We are having a great time in Elephant Butte and Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We toured the Elephant Butte State Park and Truth & Consequences yesterday and had lunch at a pub/restaurant overlooking the lake. There were dozens of houseboats, motor boats, parasailers, fishermen, ATVs in the 33 mile long state park. You can easily see that this is a busy place in the summer as there are boat and rv storage everywhere. It is said that the towns doubles in the summer.
Today we visited Chloride, as old silver mining town. The silver is not so profitable now so they have discovered a white substance in the soil that is used in kitty litter. There are only 10 year around residents in Chloride and some rancher in the area.
