Pancho Villa State Park has a great museum on the history of the area and 63 camping sites. 30 and 50 amp, E\/W and water only and tent sites are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan on spending time in New Mexico the state park pass is a bargain, out of state visitors pay $225 for a year and only $4 for e\/w, $8 for full hook ups and $0 for boon-docking sites. You can stay up to 14 days. I have stayed at 2 parks so far this year and my pass is half paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pioneer museum in the old depot admission is by donation and worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you stop by the Patio Cafe for breakfast or lunch homemade food at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what I found exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was anxious about going into Mexico by myself ,<\/g> so I reread a book that everyone<\/g>, woman or man, who travels alone should read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear Less vs Fearless The Journey of a Lifetime by Malia Miles Lane. Available on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palomas Mexico is 3 miles south of Columbus and the only 24hr border crossing in New Mexico. If you don’t want to drive in to<\/g> Mexico there is a pay lot $5 or you can park at the Family Dollar like<\/g> the locals do for free, a purchase would be a nice thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a free eye exam and got new glasses ( no line Varilux) for under$150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked around town and had lunch at the Pink Store and 2 hours later picked up my glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
