Leasburg Dam SP

We are alittle North of Las Cruces NM. Most of the drive was on pretty lonely roads. We eventually got on I 10. That's the first time we have been on an interstate in awhile. The Leasburg dam was built to divert the Rio Grande into a canal so it could be used for irrigation. The area behind the dam is completely filled with dirt. Normally there's a lake behind a dam. Not this one. The river is pretty low. (See pic). We are only here for 1 night. Tomorrow is Tucson.
