Once a boundary line between the civilized states and the Wild West, the Pecos River drops down from the western slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and cuts through the eastern half of New Mexico. Puerto de Luna grew up along the Pecos River, with its first settlers arriving in 1848. By 1873, the town of Puerto de Luna grew large enough to earn a post office, and by 1891 it became the county seat. Its prestige was short lived, overtaken by Santa Rosa to the north after the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad arrived.
Although it's not a true ghost town, the Guadalupe Courthouse ruins, an old gas station, a few abandoned homes and its captivating name manage to attract quite a few sightseers.
The Puerto de Luna name dates back hundreds of years when Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado camped here in the mid 1500s. When he saw the moon rising in a gap in the mountains, Coronado dubbed the area Gateway of the Moon.
Born in western Pennsylvania, Ben quickly discovered that his parents were passionate about travel, photography, oil painting and wildlife. Being the youngest member of his family, he grew up exploring much of the eastern half of the United States at an early age with his older brothers. Ben's photography is about that part of his youth, echoing that same passion that his parents had of the Great Outdoors. Visit
