      @@ClearTheRubble7 I was 12 in 1963 when my parents drove us ,on Route 66, across NM to visit LA,California. It captured my soul as soon as we hit Tucumcari, at night, and the neon motel signs, then the land, sunlight, sagebrush on the rolling hills, etc. NM is the most beautiful state to me. And the history, culture, wonderful people. I visited every few years throughout my life and at 62, retired here 9 years ago. It's Paradise, I thank the Lord I spend my final years 🙏 here

      I had friends visit Jamaica to seek unexplored caves.
      They said most tourist caves also had urine that
      could be smelled. Using their speleology data they
      told me the year that the island ground water out
      of pumps will probably become an acquired taste.
      Red Label Beer has had no comment.

    I live in New Mexico and never get tired of exploring it. Visitors would also find magic in Chaco Canyon, Tent Rocks, Bandolier National Monument, El Morro/Inscription Rock, El Malpais (igneous rock badlands with "lava tube" ice caves and volcanic craters), Albuquerque's Old Town, the Sandia Tram, Acoma Pueblo, Carlsbad Caverns, Ghost Ranch (where Georgia O'Keeffe did a lot of her paintings), Madrid (old mining town in the Sandia's), Jemez Mountains (along Highway 4 there's alpine scenery, Jemez Pueblo, red rock canyons, hot springs, waterfalls, incredible beauty), Chimayo, Ruidoso, Shiprock (in the Navajo Nation). And probably the greatest attraction of all: New Mexican food, featuring red and green chili. I sound like someone from the NM Tourist Board, lol, but I'm just an average NM resident.

They underestimated the dangers and weren't prepared for them. I used to hike alone in some canyons, but won't do that anymore.

      I recommend a street legal dirt motorcycle of about 350cc if made in Japan.
      Tight engines that won't leak oil. To see NM , TX, and go home again on
      my Suzuki DR-650 is a 2, 700 mile road trip. I'd rather do that distance
      on the Pacific Ocean coastal highways again.

      I moved here 1998 from Houston, TX. NM is clean, friendly and as law abiding as AZ, TX, CO, UT, etc. You can find some bad people in any church and some good people in any slum. I now live in Espanola, NM right in the middle of northern NM. It has a reputation as a small tough city however its not. True many people still speak Spanish, Spanglish and of course American.
      To the Daughter of the Great I Am, sorry about your bad experience here but "BAD" lives in everybody's hometown. I hope you turned it into the local police and they give or tried to give you some satisfaction. Please don't stop traveling and visiting new places, we all live in one of the greatest countries on earth. Please everyone come visit.

    If you are planning to visit Albuquerque, don't. The crime is obscene and not friendly to tourists. No matter what part of town you are in, the whole city has been overrun with drugs, homeless, and gang activity.

    • @MrPHart
      @MrPHart 3 года назад +1

      Dear Miss Ellen, crime lives in the soul of every city of our great USA, however here in NM, crime or bad behavior is no greater or any less active than other places in our great country. Well to do (Rich) "Karens" often show up and find the rural nature of NM unsettling as it is harder to "buy" people who are used to living the country life of freedom and openness out west.
      Miss Ellen, I don't know where you live, however are you stating that your town/city does not have any people that use drugs? Really! Your hometown does not have a single homeless person? And, not even one gang? Look up the definition of the word gang, two or more people etc, together doing things, good or bad things, etc. My wife, my children, together in public could be under those terms a gang, and in our living room at times on Christmas morning I wonder.
      I would like to invite you to revisit NM, however due to your attitude maybe it would be best if you just drive around NM next time your traveling. We enjoy all folks that are kind, unfortunately not everyone is. God made all types of folks, your one type and I guess we are another!
      However live a blessed life and be as kind to all things/people/etc as possible.
