The next photo was just a hop, skip and jump from the bridge. The visitor's center at Coronado State Monument. This was one of the hardest of the photos to identify. With absolutely no markings on it I found it impossible to even research the building. I obtained the information on where this photo was through the New Mexico Fan Page on facebook. For several weeks the page, which is affiliated with the New Mexico Department of Tourism, was posting the photos for the contest and allowing (maybe even encouraging) people to discuss the location of the photos. Frankly I thought this was a great idea, I mean the entire purpose for the contest is to get people out traveling around the state and spending money. But others did not agree, and were getting angrier and angrier each day that the page posted new photos, until finally, quietly, they just stopped posting them. Alas too soon, I still have several photos that I have researched as much as I can and I still cannot identify. To get this photo we simply parked in the lot and I walked over to the front of the building and snapped the photo. Normally, Jim and I would have visited the ruins located there. In fact, for my other scrapbook pages I need to return here to take some photos, however, on this extremely hot, and I do mean HOT day, we had no desire to be walking around the ruins. |
