Billy the Kid Discussion Board
Los Portales as described by Pat Garrett:"Los Portales is but a small cave in a quarry of rock, not more than fifteen feet high, lying out and obstructing the view across a beautiful level prairie, and bubbling up, near the rocks, are two springs of cool, clear water, furnishing an ample supply for at least 1000 head of cattle. There is no building nor corral. All the signs of habitation are a snubbing post, rough working utensils and a pile of blankets. Just that and nothing more." Today the springs have dried up and no longer flow. According to locals the caves during Billy's day were actually much higher than they are today due to the efects of soil filling in the caves and lower lying areas. This is where Billy kept his stolen livesock.
