Wife and I stayed at Carlsbad KOA last October and loved this trip! The caverns were fantastic and part of the experience was at least walking down. Plus watching the bats fly out of cave at night. The town had some good local restaurants to eat at too. There was also a waterfall not to far from the KOA to go to and explore. Would’ve been a great bike ride passing by the open range cattle. Roswell was a tourist trap but still a fun experience. All of our travels we seem to find fun in every town we’ve been, small or large! Safe travels and thanks for the video.
I'm always blown away by the editing, the choices of music, the timing....its amazing. I'm subscribed to more channels than I even remember, and yours is top shelf material. Love how you say what you think, and if someone doesn't like it...to bad. 100% honesty The Best RUclips has to offer. All the best.👍👍
I’ve been to Carlsbad Caverns twice and did the audio tour both times. I would totally recommend doing that tour. I loved it both times. I love doing cave tours and didn’t think the tour at Carlsbad was difficult. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
As others have already pointed out, do not give up on New Mexico! Albuquerque and north is spectacular! Don’t miss the Valle Vidal, federal land. It’s gorgeous!!
The diversity of our country is amazing. There’s something for everyone, I love the redwoods of Northern California and the desert sands of the southwest. Keep up the great content guys 😎
Even though this part of the country wasn't your favorite it was so much fun to watch! We truly love your honesty and that you guys are real! That's why we love watching! Go Buckeyes!
The picture in picture commentary was a really nice touch. It had a talk show/documentary vibe for a few minutes and it worked well. Nice job on this episode!
We spent the same winter you did in New Mexico (January & February), the wind was awful some days! But, we had a great time! We're from Wisconsin, the land of green & SNOW. We missed the Polar Vortex in the north, had the kitchen sink burrito at the Cowboy Café in Roswell, saw some great murals, stayed at an Alpaca Farm, camped in the snow near Santa Fe, loved on Albuquerque, parked near the water in a wee blink of a town named Logan and all the while stayed at New Mexico's state parks. Only draw back was our pooch kept getting those hard little stickers stuck in his paws. Thanks for the overview!!
Especially enjoyed seeing Carlsbad Caverns again. Went the first time when I was around 11. We went the night before to the entrance of the BIG cave opening where there is the back and forth walk going down into the cave. Everyone that was there (tourists) gathered at the very top of the walkway and just waited. My dad had checked into this beforehand and found out that at dust/sunset, millions and millions of tiny bats come out of the caves. Well, sure enough, we only had to wait about 20 minutes and we started to hear this far off wooshing sound. It got louder and louder and louder, until it literally sounded like a freight train coming up out of the cave. It was absolutely spectacularly amazing. They came up out of the cave like a whirling tornado. Spiraling up, up, up until they were several thousand feet above the opening. Then they just all took off in all different directions.There were so many of the bats that they literally blocked out the sky overhead. The Park Ranger who was there told us that the bats stay out all night and all of them come back in the same way they left. They have this internal clock that tells them when to leave and when to return. Pretty cool huh. Also, was surprised to see you went down an elevator. We went down the winding back and forth trail that went down into the BIG cave opening. There was about 20 people in our group, and lights were turned on in the caves only as we entered into each area, and turned off behind us. I remember when we were far enough down into the caves so that any light coming in from the opening was no longer visible, all of the lights were turned out so we could see what TOTAL darkness was. OH my gosh. You literally could not see your hand in front of you. The lights were turned back on after about 20 seconds. That was long enough. At the end of the tour, we were in a large cafeteria like area where they sold box lunches (literally, a cardboard box with wrapped sandwiches and a cold drink) then when you had finished your box lunch you took the elevator back to the surface. Things have changed, and rightly so I guess. It was around 1958 when I went. But it was still pretty cool. So cool that it has left an everlasting impression on me all of these years.
Wife and son did the Roswell and Carlsbad trip about 25 years ago. We may do the area as a destination, because the caverns are a great experience. Thank you for the video visit.
This had me laughing so hard...it was like watching our trip to Las Cruces we did all of the same things you guys did. Have to admit that Road Runner is something we are so easily entertained. White Sands is something of course us old people were not about to slid down a mountain of sand but it was fun watching y'all do it. Safe and happy travels.
Great video as usual! The best part was when you asked “Siri...what time is sunset?” It paused the video, and told me. 😄 In case you are wondering, it was at 1951 hrs right here in Humble, TX.
Story behind the bird cage in La Posta Mexican restaurant! Back in the 1970's they had a Mina Bird that was the central "center piece" in the lobby of the restaurant. He had a very large vocabulary and would greet everyone coming in the front door with a very loud "hello". if you talked to him, he could answer short questions. As they only live about 30 years, I am sure they never found a personable replacement for him. We used to go there to eat and mainly see the mina. Lived in El Paso at the time. Had a 20' (class C) Open Road RV and mainly toured the local areas and up to Cloudcroft, NM nost of the time to excapt the Texas heat. Keep up the good work!
This was a nicely done video. Good to post things like this so that people who RV can know ahead of time what places are like. Wish I had your editing skills...still learning as I've only been on YT a month or so...trying to gain traction here. Been RVing though for more than 50 years, so have plenty of info to share and stories to tell. Good Job. Thanks for posting.
You two are so fun to watch! I love all your video's! We are about to retire and get an RV, still deciding if we want a toyhauler (I feel I would loose so much living space). But after watching you guys, it looks like you spend a majority of time outside, witch I'm thinking we will also do. Thank you for the tips, showing different interesting places, and your sense of humor! You are so fun to watch! If you ever come to Idaho I can give you some tips on places to go! Can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives traveling! Keep those videos coming! Happy Trails!
Living room space is usually lacking on most toy haulers. We'd have lots of options in the RV world if we didn't need our office and want to keep it a separate area... Welcome to our channel, Jaimie! 😊
Great to see you guys again! I know; my fault. And Tara is so full of energy here. We are glad to see it. Y'all, I know y'all speak southern. Y'all are so much fun. And the videos keep getting better, more creative. And Chad, count your blessings there were no cactus; Tara just might have... Ha! Never mind. All the best to you.
OMG you guys made miss the desert which is weird to me lol. Since I moved to Dayton, oh from UAE, I have not seen like this for long time. I wish you guys the best and may God shed his grace on both of you.
I absolutely love your videos. Safe travels and thank you so much for sharing your adventures with everyone. I look forward to your next videoed adventure.
I was stationed at Cannon AFB which is in Clovis NM. I hated it. Doing FOD walks with negative wind chill cuts through you. Albuquerque is nice and I recommend going to the balloon festival. The bat flight at Carlsbad is pretty cool. I can see Chad doing a Clark Griswold down a sand dune.
Thanks for the insights on cool places to visit in New Mexico (even if there aren't many☺). The caverns were real cool. If you ever get back to the great state of Kentucky, you might check out Mammoth Cave. The Corvette Museum and factory are only about 40 miles away down I-65.
Love the video. You guys are a lot of fun. Years ago, my husband and I, on our GoldWing left PA for Carlsbad. That is how far we made it on a 2-week vacation before we had to head back to PA. Carlsbad was not out intended destination, it is just how far we made it before we had to head back home. Our GD 397TH should roll off the assembly line on September 30. Can't wait to hit the road.
I know this video is nearly two years old but... We're heading to Carlsbad for the caves (and the bats) this summer (2021) and your information is very helpful, we're actually staying at the Carlsbad KOA too. Thanks for the video of the KOA.
And now we see why some of the outtakes were outtakes. White Sands Looks cool, but at 32 deg and 60 MPH winds I don't think I'll visit in March. Nice video guys, keep 'em coming.
If y’all go back to NM, grants is a nice town, has a KOA on the outskirts with some great hiking trails as well as the grants ice caves and extinct volcano
Nice run and info. We travel back and forth couple to few times a year between Texas and old roots in So. Cal. (family) and always stop at La Posta in Las Cruces for food. Been a regular 'must stop' for now 3 generations in my family.
If you head a little west of Roswell you will enter into some mountains where there are various little cities/towns like Ruidoso or Cloucroft which are incredible mountain towns that are so very nice. Even Capitan and Alto New Mexico are great little places.
Yea.. we drove through that area between Carlsbad and Las Cruces. Beautiful area. 👍🏼 We need to see more of the Northern part of the state next time for sure! 😊
Oh man, I wish we knew you were in Cruces. We could have met you in Mesilla for lunch. We're from Denver and southern NM is a big change. We like it being not as crowded and less snow. I will admit we go back up often. The open vastness of the desert can be cool but you either love it or hate it. We like your cannel. Thanks for the videos.
My wife and I live in Clovis, NM. There are vast areas that are very flat and not much to look at. We're both from California, where there are so many kinds of landscapes. NM has some beautiful places, as others have said. We love the northern parts of NM, especially Angel Fire and the Enchanted Circle area. Carlsbad Caverns certainly is amazing to see though! We plan on full timing after I retire in a few years. We love your videos!
Come to Idaho, there’s sand dunes, mountains, trees, desert, craters of the moon, natural hot tubes, many places to boondock or campsites, four wheeling many old mining Townes. West Yellowstone and old faithful are near.
New Mexico has alot of desert, What where you guys expecting , green forest! You must of also expecting to see real Aliens in Roswell. My wife, son and parents also experience the same vacation in New Mexico and we loved it.
So, yeah, I endured your video because... You make all things fun! It might have been a bit less interesting than you had hoped for, but the soundtrack, and the goofy encounters (roadrunner), it was hilarious! Attitude is everything, I always say. I kept saying to myself: What else? What else? Nice tip to avoid 9.5-mile loop. Is it acceptable to comment more than once per video? And now is... White Sands... Waxed sled vs. feet? Daredevil! Good job! Looked like fun!
We've done the exact same thing twice in the past 5 years. Stayed at the Carlsbad KOA and then driven to the caverns. My kids like the pool at that RV Park. But there is nothing in Carlsbad but the caverns. I grew up in NM and the Southern part of NM is pretty lame. lol.. Hit the mountains next time.
Next time you hit up NM, go to candy kitchen and visit wild spirit wolf sanctuary!! Awesome!! Beautiful terrain and they have an RV park called Ancient Way!! ❤
Hey guys. It's been a bit since I have been on here. This Covid thing is bad, really bad here in Roswell. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Roswell, I am still trying to enjoy it after 21 years (and not having much luck). When I finish recovering from my stroke and coma, we are moving to somewhere with trees and water. Hope to see you out on the road somewhere. Happy trails
Too bad you didn't see any blooming cacti. We spent March in Arizona and after the wet winter it had lots of blooming cacti. We visited White Sands last November and it was perfect weather. Carlsbad Caverns are good in any weather :)
Ok, that was new! I was watching this video on my TV in the living room of the coach, and on the outtakes when Chad asked Siri, “what time is sunset”, Siri on my iPad responded to him! I had to stop, laugh, and send you guys a comment.
Northern NM is very spectacular, look into the Carson National Forest and nice full hook up RV sites in Chama New Mexico. PS the movie Wild Hogs was filmed in Northern NM.
I am actually going to be there in less than two weeks. Northern NM then a day in southern NM. This gives me idea of area. Deciding between White sands or Carlsbad caverns....leaning towards White Sands
Agreed. Completely different. I like some of the desert.. but love all the mountains. Check out some of my ride videos for a taste of the scenery. I'm in Albuquerque but always go north...lol
So bummed you went in March... the fall and spring are nicer for sure. If at all possible definitely check out Northern NM especially in October (it might be cold it might be on 2nd or 3rd summer 🤣 give it 10 minutes it will change!) anyway Albuqurque has the annual Balloon Fiesta. It will be crowded crazy and busy, but fun and pretty to watch all the balloons!
New Mexico is amazing, but different. Roswell, Carlsbad Caverns, Trinity Site- Green Chiles, Santa Fe, Taos. A beautiful state!. It is windy in March, but we are used to it. Please come back!
Really you didn’t take the walk down into the caves and elevate at the end. Great way to see it all. Also get to see the bat cave that housed massive bat Colony.
Yah, you really have to get into Northern NM for cooler Summers & prettier scenery. SanteFe & Taos are nice. The are a lot of State Parks, Natl Forest, & other cheap/ free camping. I live here but it is definitely not my favorite state.
Next time go to the White Sands Missile Range base west of the monument. Great missile park there will lots of things that were used on the test range.
Yes, you definitely didn't pick the best time to visit southern New Mexico! September and October can be really great though. Also, SE New Mexico isn't a good choice for riding, as you found out. For riding you were close though in Las Cruces. The ride to do in Las Cruces is State Rd. 28 south out of Old Mesilla along the Rio Grande. I live in Deming and if you ever get back this way (preferably in Sept. or Oct.) give me a heads up and I would be glad to take you on a couple of amazing motorcycle day tripsI We also have some really good restaurants serving Mexican food and it's a short hop (30 minutes) across the border to Palomas Mex. and The Pink Store for more great Mexican cuisine.

Roswell to Ruidoso to Tularosa to Alamogordo to Cloudcroft to Atesia to Carlsbad, Beautiful!
You two are so much fun! Outtakes are hysterical!
As others have already pointed out, do not give up on New Mexico! Albuquerque and north is spectacular! Don’t miss the Valle Vidal, federal land. It’s gorgeous!!
We'll definitely be back to check out the rest of the state! 😊 👍🏼

We felt the same about Rosewell and museum. Been there done that. Loved Carlsbad and Lincoln Forest.
We spent the same winter you did in New Mexico (January & February), the wind was awful some days! But, we had a great time! We're from Wisconsin, the land of green & SNOW.

I watch your videos instead of watching movies way more entertaining. I usually get a big ball popcorn and then binge watch changing lanes
Northern new Mexico is beautiful
We'll definitely check that out next time we have the opportunity! 👍🏼 😊
A another great adventure. Thanks for the shots and laughs. Hilarious!
What a great relationship you kids have. I really enjoy your videos

They have a great State Park system and prices. Going there in May 2020 and back in October for balloon fiesta.

You to are a lot of fun I love your videos keep it up you show me places I don't know if I'll get to see
New Mexico has its own unique beauty. The sunrise in las Cruces is so beautiful. I love it. White sands is great!
We hear it's best in spring and fall! 👍🏼 😊 Will try the Northern part of the sate next time.. 😊
They we’re in the desert part of NM. They should’ve gone North. I don’t care going South or east toward Carlsbad. It’s ugly
I was stationed at Cannon AFB which is in Clovis NM. I hated it. Doing FOD walks with negative wind chill cuts through you. Albuquerque is nice and I recommend going to the balloon festival. The bat flight at Carlsbad is pretty cool. I can see Chad doing a Clark Griswold down a sand dune.
Thanks for your take on your adventure! Love the haircut.
Thanks for the insights on cool places to visit in New Mexico (even if there aren't many☺). The caverns were real cool. If you ever get back to the great state of Kentucky, you might check out Mammoth Cave. The Corvette Museum and factory are only about 40 miles away down I-65.
When you were in Cloudcroft if you would have turned toward Ruidoso you would have driven some of the most beautiful country there is in my opinion.
Thanks for the tip! We'll have to check that out next time we're in the area! 👍🏼
Love the video. You guys are a lot of fun. Years ago, my husband and I, on our GoldWing left PA for Carlsbad. That is how far we made it on a 2-week vacation before we had to head back to PA.

Woohoooo! Almost to the 1 month countdown! 😊 Congrats!
Double Eagle restaurant was the best.! On your recommendation we had the fried guacamole, it was delish. We love all of your tips.
Stay safe!!
yep, been there done that in April 2019, wind blew 30 to 40 for 3 days. Enjoy your videos.
I know this video is nearly two years old but...
We're heading to Carlsbad for the caves (and the bats) this summer (2021) and your information is very helpful, we're actually staying at the Carlsbad KOA too. Thanks for the video of the KOA.
June and July are nice times to visit Southern New Mexico. The desert is alive with blooms of the various wild flowers. Try it out!
I have always wanted to slide down a dune. You guys are amazing. As a newer creator, your talents inspire me. Keep on going guys.
Sooo many hilarious moments in these video's, I love them!
Good to see y'all were hanging out with Ron and Cindy Lou! Met them at the meet up in Austin.
Good peeps! 😊
You need to go in April or May look for all the cactus blooming flowers. You have to appreciate how the desert is really full of life.
👍
Hey you guys just missed El Paso TX just 30 minutes from Las Cruces NM. Several great places to eat especially cattleman's steak house!!!!!
And now we see why some of the outtakes were outtakes. White Sands Looks cool, but at 32 deg and 60 MPH winds I don't think I'll visit in March. Nice video guys, keep 'em coming.
We purchased the New Mexico park pass and we are doing a couple months through NM. Can’t wait to see white sands! My sled is packed!
Don't forget some wax! 👍🏼 😊
If y’all go back to NM, grants is a nice town, has a KOA on the outskirts with some great hiking trails as well as the grants ice caves and extinct volcano
Nice run and info. We travel back and forth couple to few times a year between Texas and old roots in So. Cal. (family) and always stop at La Posta in Las Cruces for food. Been a regular 'must stop' for now 3 generations in my family.
Thanks for watching! Hope you check out the rest of our channel! 😊
Noce about the kennels. Good tip! I wish they were everywhere!
We went to some nice caverns (Mystic Caverns) in northern Arkansas when we did motorcycle trip up there a few years back.
If you head a little west of Roswell you will enter into some mountains where there are various little cities/towns like Ruidoso or Cloucroft which are incredible mountain towns that are so very nice. Even Capitan and Alto New Mexico are great little places.
Yea.. we drove through that area between Carlsbad and Las Cruces. Beautiful area. 👍🏼 We need to see more of the Northern part of the state next time for sure! 😊
Roswell (my hometown) is best on the 4th of july during the ufo fest you would love it then.
Bet that is awesome! 👍🏼
Nice trip how was the sunsets that is what I remember about NM, thank you for the memories.
Didn't really see anything spectacular. But I think we visited in a bad time of year...
Oh man, I wish we knew you were in Cruces. We could have met you in Mesilla for lunch. We're from Denver and southern NM is a big change. We like it being not as crowded and less snow.

Thanks for the info. I think we will pass that up. Like the drinking idea better 👍☝️🍻
Come to Idaho, there’s sand dunes, mountains, trees, desert, craters of the moon, natural hot tubes, many places to boondock or campsites, four wheeling many old mining Townes. West Yellowstone and old faithful are near.
More Idaho in upcoming videos.. Beautiful state! 😊
My husband is the same way, his body is a red hot mess and he's the first one out there trying to be a 19 yr old acrobat. 🤣💯
Thanks for sharing another adventure and travel tips. 😄
New Mexico has alot of desert, What where you guys expecting , green forest!
You must of also expecting to see real Aliens in Roswell. My wife, son and parents also experience the same vacation in New Mexico and we loved it.
Exactly, especially in the winter 😞
We need a “LOVE IT!” button. 💕
So, yeah, I endured your video because... You make all things fun!

Great video guys. Thank you.
You guys are too cute. Love when you’re holding hands and enjoying each other’s company.. thanks for sharing
We've done the exact same thing twice in the past 5 years. Stayed at the Carlsbad KOA and then driven to the caverns. My kids like the pool at that RV Park. But there is nothing in Carlsbad but the caverns. I grew up in NM and the Southern part of NM is pretty lame. lol.. Hit the mountains next time.
North New Mexico is in our future for sure. 👍🏼
Great job on the video. Still waiting for a delivery date on my RV toyhauler.
Next time you hit up NM, go to candy kitchen and visit wild spirit wolf sanctuary!! Awesome!! Beautiful terrain and they have an RV park called Ancient Way!! ❤
Have you ever been to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque? Starts the 1st full weekend in October.
Yes! Can't wait to see it!
Hey guys. It's been a bit since I have been on here. This Covid thing is bad, really bad here in Roswell. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Roswell, I am still trying to enjoy it after 21 years (and not having much luck). When I finish recovering from my stroke and coma, we are moving to somewhere with trees and water. Hope to see you out on the road somewhere. Happy trails
We look forward to your videos each week! We are hoping to go full time in January! House if for sale now!
Awesome! Good luck on your full time RV transition! 😊
Too bad you didn't see any blooming cacti. We spent March in Arizona and after the wet winter it had lots of blooming cacti. We visited White Sands last November and it was perfect weather. Carlsbad Caverns are good in any weather :)
Nice. That was fun. Glad Tara didn't go fump, fump, fump!
we have been to Albuquerque and santa fe, loved them both, you need to go to the balloon fiesta it is the best
Most definitely need to see the balloon festival! 👍🏼 😊
Would love to see Roswell. Sorry you froze. In Mn 32 is Miami beach:)
Awesome guys! Great vid... we’re heading there in about a month. Can you give us any must sees? Or tips for our trip?
We're hearing the norther part of New Mexico is the place to go... But we really liked white sands and Carlsbad caverns also.
Welcome to New Mexico, my home state! You missed some great views and hospitality!
I'm sure we did! We'll have to check out those parts next time through the area! 👍🏼 😊
Ok, that was new! I was watching this video on my TV in the living room of the coach, and on the outtakes when Chad asked Siri, “what time is sunset”, Siri on my iPad responded to him! I had to stop, laugh, and send you guys a comment.
😂🤣
Northern NM is very spectacular, look into the Carson National Forest and nice full hook up RV sites in Chama New Mexico. PS the movie Wild Hogs was filmed in Northern NM.
We definitely want to get up to that side of NM!
I am actually going to be there in less than two weeks. Northern NM then a day in southern NM. This gives me idea of area. Deciding between White sands or Carlsbad caverns....leaning towards White Sands
They are both worth visiting, so you can't go wrong either way... 👍🏼
If yall come back out go up north to angel fire/Taos area more mountains and a lot better scenery
Agreed. Completely different. I like some of the desert.. but love all the mountains. Check out some of my ride videos for a taste of the scenery. I'm in Albuquerque but always go north...lol
Yes... we've heard a lot of people say great things about angel fire. 😊
@@ChangingLanes: Any of my "Sipapu" vids are from that area.
@@ChangingLanes Angel Fire is nice, Red River and Taos are really what you need to see.
So bummed you went in March... the fall and spring are nicer for sure. If at all possible definitely check out Northern NM especially in October (it might be cold it might be on 2nd or 3rd summer 🤣 give it 10 minutes it will change!) anyway Albuqurque has the annual Balloon Fiesta. It will be crowded crazy and busy, but fun and pretty to watch all the balloons!
We definitely want to check out Northern NM and the balloon festival someday! Thanks for watching! 😊
It was winter and down southeast so yes it was windy and cold and really brown.
New Mexico is amazing, but different. Roswell, Carlsbad Caverns, Trinity Site- Green Chiles, Santa Fe, Taos. A beautiful state!. It is windy in March, but we are used to it. Please come back!
We will! 😊 Definitely want to see the trinity site next time!
Really you didn’t take the walk down into the caves and elevate at the end. Great way to see it all. Also get to see the bat cave that housed massive bat Colony.
We thought about it, but Tara has a tough time with stairs... even just down: ruclips.net/video/Wnn8mONYx5g/видео.html
I went white sands, dare I say, in 1960 as a kid, my dad was stationed at Ft ???? Any ways we are headed that way in Nov.
You 2 should of hung out till the Roswell rush. Lol --- Thanks for another great video. Yes she is beautiful. Lucky you Chad.
in New Mexico in February you can have high winds of 50 MPH or more with gusts of 70 MPH for a total of 20 days
Yah, you really have to get into Northern NM for cooler Summers & prettier scenery.
SanteFe & Taos are nice.
The are a lot of State Parks, Natl Forest, & other cheap/ free camping.
I live here but it is definitely not my favorite state.
Yep, southern NM is pretty grim. Be sure and check the north.
👍🏼 😊
Have you guys been to Arizona yet? If not, be sure to check out Sedona among many other awesome places.
LOVED Sedona! 😊 Video forthcoming... 👍🏼
Don't you just love people who think rules don't apply to them. They are just so special, they and their dogs. (GRRRR!)
I live in las cruces lol. You should have went to mesilla idk if you did or not.
I literally live like 5 mins from that camp ground. Way way better places to eat in Cruces then la posta.
Next time go to the White Sands Missile Range base west of the monument. Great missile park there will lots of things that were used on the test range.
Yes, you definitely didn't pick the best time to visit southern New Mexico! September and October can be really great though. Also, SE New Mexico isn't a good choice for riding, as you found out. For riding you were close though in Las Cruces. The ride to do in Las Cruces is State Rd. 28 south out of Old Mesilla along the Rio Grande.
I live in Deming and if you ever get back this way (preferably in Sept. or Oct.) give me a heads up and I would be glad to take you on a couple of amazing motorcycle day tripsI We also have some really good restaurants serving Mexican food and it's a short hop (30 minutes) across the border to Palomas Mex. and The Pink Store for more great Mexican cuisine.
Hope you guys got to see the Really nice Veterans Memorial at Cruces...they did an excellent job with it.
We planned on riding to it, but then got some bad weather our last few days. 😟
