We return to Columbus and visit the Pancho Villa State Park. The museum details the attack by this Mexican Revolutionary. After the raid the U.S. Cavalry chased Pancho Villa over 500 miles into Mexico but he was never captured.
We head west toward Arizona. We cross the Continental Divide at 4,500 feet. We visit the Chiricahua Desert Museum in Rodeo, AZ. This is a private museum and one of the best we've seen. Most impressive is their herpetology room which contains rattlesnakes common to the southwest.
We stop at the site of Geronimo's surrender, and then on to Douglas where we resupply at Walmart and park for the night. Peggy takes pity on a homeless woman and buys her tacos.
