Location #5

I call this section the Giorgi Loop because it is entirely on property owned by Bill Giorgi. Bill and his wife were kind enough to let me inside the gates to take these pictures. This location is about a half mile long stretch of the original alignment on the east side of the freeway about 1 mile northeast of Las Cruces. There is one bridge located at the north end of the loop and it is gated on both ends.
