essay bro:
Following the
directions in the beta facts above you should park your wheels at Caballero
Canyon. You will know that you are
at the right place because big round metal lids are scattered all over the face
of the earth here. These metal
caps are harvesting the spring water and running it into a pipeline connected
directly to all the water faucets in the city of Alamogordo. Just imagine how much water used to
flow over this waterfall before the city of Alamogordo stole all it’s
water….!!!!!
Oh well… don’t
feel too bad about it… just drive right down to Alamogordo and take in a nice
big drink of water.
