Albuquerque is pretty far to the north, Las Cruces is nearly on the Mexican border Juarez is about 45 miles I imagin the border even closer. We have nice scenery too. In fact our homesite sits on top of a hill with the Organ Mtns. our backdrop. jdn

<< I want to spend some time in NM one of these trips as I'm quite taken by the scenery around Albuquerque.>>

I went to Taos with a friend who's father ran the D.H. Lawrance ranch for the U of A. That's the guy who wrote "Lady Chatterly's Lover". We visited his brother in Albuquerque. The guy took up bow hunting and borrowed a motor home and towed a Jeep to hunt elk. He was unhooking the Jeep to go back for the horse trailer when an elk bugled just up above him. Grabbed his bow and stuck the elk which rolled down to the motor home. That was a quick hunt. He had the head mounted but the royal rack was so tall that the darn thing is hung on the wall close to the floor.

If you're going to Albuquerque, I'd spend some time around Santa Fe. When I was there I saw a trailer next to a $5 million home, a house made of beer cans and a house made of concrete sprayed over balloons. Good place to buy what's her name a liquid silver necklace.
