    My husband's ashes are scattered next to that graveled road in the Florida Mountains near Rock Hound Park. He was the musical coordinator for the activities at Rock Hound Park. We also loved the Gila River area and spent lots of time in Silver City and hiking in the Gila River area.

      There is an exotic animal (ibex?) up in Fla. Mnts.

    Hey Ron.
    I took your same route back in the 90s, and have been thinking about it again. I live near Austin TX, which is growing way too fast for me.
    I have thought of places to retire where my money would go further, and besides, the Ashe juniper (cedar) that surrounds me keeps me a prisoner in the winter.
    So, I'm watching your video, you talking about the alligator juniper...then you mention the pollen was killing you.
    Ick. I'm trying to get away from it! But, I live in the largest concentration of them in the US, literally a juniper forest. And, of the 9 (or is it 11?) species, Ashe is by far the worst for allergies.
    My question is, what month were you there? I had thought Pinos Altos might be OK, but now I wonder.

    What year did the flood waters wash away Main Street? Bullock Street is now the Main Street down through town. I lived there from 1949-1957. Main Street was washed out then. Enjoyed your videos but you could do away with the loud music in video. It’s very distracting to the video.

      Thanks for watching. From the internet "On July 21 of 1895, a massive flood ripped through the city. In the Silver City Enterprise, it was described as “an immense wave 12 feet in height and 300 feet in width, carrying with it everything movable in its path.”

      Not exactly thrilled about building my retirement home among "possibly active" volcanoes. Ditto for Silver City and Grant
      County? The USGS earthquake map indicates low quake incidence for SW NM, but what has been your experience with
      quakes? I heard of a 4.8 quake that the USGS thought Lordsburg was the epicenter but later confirmed to be in AZ, but that people in Deming felt it. No sinkholes though, says the USGS, right? Tornados?

      @@greg1030 New Mexico is not the volcano state. Most of the mountain ranges are not volcanic in origin. Yes there are some individual hills/mountains that had origins from volcanic activity, however there is no worry about a volcanic erruption. I studied geology and geography at New Mexico State University.

      @@robertgilbert4291 Thanks Robert, but like you probably are, I am heartbroken and terrified by the sheer size and number of human-induced climate change driven wildfires now raging in virtually every western state, and which are likely far more intense and numerous than ever before. I was shocked when I learned only two days ago that many of these fires have been burning as early as May. There are so many that names have to be assigned to them in CA, AZ and NM. The Tadpole fire in Grant County started in June or earlier, burning ~ 325 acres and then grew to well over 7K acres. What’s worse is that many counties in NM don’t have the revenue to hire at least some seasonal fulltime firefighters along with the volunteers, provide enough equipment and/or have enough fire stations to stamp out smaller wildfires before they become enormous unstoppable monsters. And even if they did have that manpower and infrastructure virtually no county in NM has anywhere near the revenue to build flood water management and water recapture systems of any scale. The Rio Rancho FD let a wildfire burn overnight a couple years ago, possibly because they didn’t have enough water. Luckily, that fire stayed far enough away from homes. But if counties and towns did have these flood water systems perhaps they could use that water stored in reservoirs not only for firefighting but for crop irrigation, thereby augmenting their agriculture economic sectors. But NM’s population, though delightfully >9X smaller than NY’s, is just too small and largely too poor to pay for any such public works projects. However, CA is far more wealthier and yet countless hundreds of thousand acres there are ablaze.
      I’ll be 70 when I retire in four years and have only one financial shot to relocate from overpopulated, overpriced and overtaxed Long Island to elsewhere to buy or build my retirement home. I won’t have the time or funds to ever move again after that, so I can’t risk moving to tornado, earthquake, wildfire, flood or sinkhole prone areas.
      State and USGS studies show that most of NM is highly prone to sinkholes. Even if you spend $6 to $8K to have the land plot or house you may want
      to buy tested for sinkholes, you can get badly injured or killed driving on the roads in Rio Rancho, Cruces, or Gordo, especially on the more heavily trafficked roads. Search [ Rio Rancho sinkholes ] here and see the TV news reports. Even in Pima County, which like Grant County is less at risk, a big hole opened up in Tucson, no doubt due to the waste water pipeline the DPW had installed-and who probably failed to do the needed subsoil composition and cavern ceiling tests prior to construction. And in NM, such as in Rio Rancho (originally my first choice in NM), it’s precisely because of the sinkhole prone subsurface that laying culverts for storm drains to then feed flood waters through arroyos and into reservoirs throughout RR’s >100 miles of roads is financially impossible. Unless labor rates in NM are dirt cheap, that $10 million bond issue that passed in RR last year is just a finger in a dyke solution.
      No place is ever going to be perfectly safe of course. But as global population size (>>100 million every year since the early 60s plus a decreasing death rate) is clearly the hottest fuel driving climate change-plus the fact that most governments, especially this one, have done virtually nothing else to reduce this and other causes of global warming-my dream of retiring to the Land of Enchantment or to southern AZ is dead. There are no words to express the misery, disgust, fear and hopelessness I now carry with me about all of it.
