Fort Union, New Mexico



Driving through New Mexico, we stopped at Fort Union, a large military fort on the Santa Fe trail.  This fort was used as a supply post; over a dozen other forts were supplied from fort Union.  There are many partial buildings left and the footprint of the fort is quite large. The Santa Fe trail ran right through the fort allowing the wagon trains to stock up on supplies.
