Where the Pecos River Crosses Itself 

Hey! Was looking through RU-vid for stuff about the damn and lake and found this video! My Grandparents actually both worked for the Carlsbad Irrigation District, and we lived in the "gatekeeper's complex" that is shown along some of those other photos in your video, which I was actually amazed to stumble upon recently. In fact, some of those pictures in the video, namely the "Gatehouse" as we always called it, were practically in my backyard! If you have any more information on the plumes or the damn or CID or honestly anything to do with where I lived please tell me I'd love more than anyone to hear!

It’s currently full!! It’s so cool to see all the irrigation channels full of water when the farmers are using them.

I'm currently reading G. Emlen Hall's book "High and Dry: The Texas-New Mexico struggle for the Pecos River". This video does a great job presenting the world discussed in the book.

I live in Jal NM 68 miles from Carlsbad and as well have lived in Carlsbad to, and have never heard of that history. As well I have been to that very spot too. Really cool piece of history. Jal started as a ranch. Monument is the both place of Jeranhamo him self.

Good job explaining this unique & complex feature.

Great video! Love the history of these things that would be easy to overlook!

Fascinating history. Thanks for sharing.

I already subscribed. Your stuff is fascinating🟪

*You might consider a video on the town of Madrid just north of Albuquerque.*

A river can't cross itself unless water can run uphill.

Has America lost its "Yes, We Can" attitude and action?

Exactly how nm ruined the river going into Texas

Sad

its too bad they take all the water from west texas and waste it
