Billy the Kid [Clovis, NM]

Clovis, NM, silos and the wafting scent of beef feed-lots, yuck. Now driving up into the lovely hills of NM toward CO after a night in the plains of Clovis.

Couldn't resist pulling off the road to visit the grave of Billy the Kid. The interesting part was the tortured travels of his actual headstone. Stolen decades ago, it was recovered in the 70s and then stolen again in the 90s. Found in Huntington Beach, Calif it was reinstalled in an iron cage. Kind of fitting that The Kid spends eternity behind bars.Leggi altro
