4CU Pancho Villa Rally - III!
Pancho Villa State Park - Columbus, NM
The Four Corners Unit Southern New Mexico Rally Pancho Villa III 19-23 October... We will convene at Pancho Villa State Park in Columbus, NM, near the Mexico border, for a three-night stay (four nights if you do an early arrival on Thursday, 19 Oct). On Saturday, Columbus, NM will be hosting a car show at the North end of the park near the office and museum. On Sunday, there will be an optional walk-over-the border lunch at The Pink Store, in Las Palomas, MX, and their famous Margaritas (while you shop)!
Pancho Villa State Park includes an exhibit hall and historic structures, capturing the history of the 1916 Pancho Villa Raid on Camp Furlong. The Village of Columbus also has a historical museum dedicated to the raid.
Registration opens & registration form available: 21 August 2017
Registrations must be received by: 7 Oct 17
with no refunds after 14 Oct 17.
The rally fee is $15 per rig with a cap of 20 rigs
and attendees will be responsible for their own camping fees $14 per night with water and electric, payable on entry to the park. (The NM camping pass reduces the nightly fee to $4.) Pick up a payment envelope at the entrance kiosk, find the space you want and then pay at the entrance kiosk or the kiosk near the playground & showers. There are no sewer hookups available, but there is a dump station in the park. You do not need to make a reservation for a space. (In fact, the NM State Park reservation system is shut down as of 15 September.) We have reserved the Camp Furlong Recreation Hall at Pancho Villa State Park for Happy Hours, Pot lucks and the Italian Dinner. There is a kitchen and fridge for our use. Well have campfires each evening, weather permitting
so please bring some fire wood to contribute!
