Billy the Kid's Tomb Fort Sumner, NM On our way from Austin to visit Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, and after our first night of sleep already, Wan Shan and I passed a sign that pointed towards Billy the Kid's grave. I was a big fan of Billy the Kid when I was younger and though I had seen his gravesite (and the museum) advertised before, it was never really on my route. ...until this time. It was only about 3 miles out of our way and so we stopped at it. One interesting thing to note is that instead of people leaving flowers on his grave, there is an assortment of bullets. I'm not entirely sure how people manage to set them upright in there since there is a large steel cage around the gravesite to prevent vandalism and even grave robbers (evidently anyways). |
