On a very desolate stretch of I-10 just east of the Arizona border is Lordsburg, New Mexico. With nothing but dry desert as far as one can see, there's a small NM Vistor Center huddled by the side of the freeway.A pet exercise area is offered with two signs next to the parking lot. A third sign but a few feet away warns, "Beware of Rattlesnakes".
Gordon is a volunteer at the visitor center and has been protecting and guarding Harvey the rooster for a year now since he was abandoned in the parking lot, left behind when a RV drove off without him.
Gordon offers lots of stories about Harvey to anyone who will listen . . . how Harvey was nearly dead he was so starved . . . how Harvey eats a special mix of food that Gordon buys for him each week . . . how Harvey can be coaxed out of the bushes for visitors who want to take his photo.
