Are you visiting from Minnesota or now living here? It is a great place.
I'm retired now. Traveling around in my RV. Wanted to travel north in NM, but they have all the camping at the parks shut down to non residents. So I'm just riding the winter out here in Deming if you know where that is. Southern part.
The western sunsets are just spectacular in the fall. I keep an eye on the sky in the afternoon, and if there are clouds overhead and a clear western horizon, I gear up.
