Raised my children there!! Absolutely love that town, would move back if I could, left there to climb out of the (2008) crash, was 2010 by the time it rolled through there, great place to raise a family!!👍
Sierra Blanca - The Mountain of Drought. I have lived here for almost 20 years and it is as dry here as the desert of West Texas. Low snow, if any and low rain, if any!!!🔥🔥🔥 Bad weather has NOT been a problem. Don’t ask me how it stays green here!!!
oh I remember hitting Pine Lodge Road(lived on Pine Lodge Road) made right and was on my way to the races love love love doso Wal Mart is now on the left coming in from town power grid look straight across and see the home we lived in 4 bedrms 3 bath large living room w/th fireplc master with fire/plc 2 smaller bed rms and a master formal sitting area and dining barns lrg front/back yards gosh i miss Roswell !!!!
Pretty little town, Rusty...reminds me of what our Gatlinburg in the Great Smokey Mountains *used* to look like. Too many people and too much traffic and too many wooly bears for me these days. Thanks for Drive Time talk today...
I love you man! Anybody that knows how much he is paying per ounce for his cold beer is my kind of guy! Started the new year with the flu and I've been watching all your videos for three days!
The wind is a constant feature here. It is worse than the wind in West Texas where grew up .Moved here 19 years ago, and as flat lander. Love being in these mountains. Texas owns over 90% of Ruidoso and I am one of them! Thanks for visiting. If you keep going on you route you will go threw plenty of no mans land! .
Another great drive. The scenery is just beautiful. I love the piney forests. Thanks for taking me along again. I appreciate the tour. Glad that camping is going well again and the all the equipment is working properly. I bet you are glad to have hook up when the temp. gets low. Stay safe and happy camping. Joyce
I lived there back in 1985 two main roads then was suddereth an meechum alot has changed since then where walmart is there was a Safeway it also used to have a Gibson farm and ranch store that little town is much bigger now.
Used to be trotters racing there. Stayed over night on my way home from exiting my draft status in the 60's from Ft. BLISS. The snow kicked up so we stopped over at a hotel... Holiday inn?
Thanks for the drive. I used to live in the condos right east of the racetrack. I miss Ruidoso. I think Michalena's is closed now, but it was the best Italian food. Sierra Blanca is a nice drive.
rhondalyn100 Yeah I got a pretty good deal on it. But it was way still too expensive. I get my Social Security in one month and that’s going to pay for it.
I retired from the Air Force back in 1999, I have been living on that retirement and my VA pension, those two pay for my mortgage, utilities and food. and anything else. I was waiting to get this RV when my SS kicked in so that the payment would not effect the way I live. Still will have some left over after the payment and insurance. so I am happy.. :-)
I remember when you bought a house in Cloudcroft, you had lot with with a RV pad in Capitan, now you have something in Carrizozo, why haven't had any property in Ruidoso
Welcome, to all new Subs and Rusty's Rangers. Let's go for a drive with episode 256 of the World Renowned Drive Time with Master Sergeant Rambling Rusty 👍😊☕️
If you haven't been there, Cloudcroft Nm 16 miles up the mountain east of Alamogordo is a beautiful and neat little town in the pine forest at almost 9000 feet. We spent four days in the area a few years ago and had a great time.
When I visit my good friend in Ontario Canada, 24 Bud Light is just a shade over $40.00 Canadian .... geez. Enjoy the wind, tornado warnings and a load of rain and thunder here in central Arkansas ... all the best!
"I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken." I'm not sure who said that, but it certainly is true! Maintenance fees, that's why Rusty didn't buy a condo! This is better than Google Earth by the way. Nice drive, thanks for the views!
Thanks for the Ruidoso video, I was interested in what it looks like. Did you get the fence boards? By the way, In my area of Southern CA., I'm paying $18.88 for a 36 pack of Budlight.
@@rusty78609 both of my kids are in a karate studio in CA. Some of my brothers are considering moving to Ruidoso NM. Which is very similar to where we live out in lake Arrowhead ca. That's the only thing I would need to consider moving out there myself. California is getting too expensive . How is carpentry work out there ? My brothers and I are carpenters and I myself am a general contractor . Thanks
Believe most `pan handlers` as u call them ..are having a hard time ..No -I live on 418 a month- so NO! I can not give to poor..but I can respect them //did u ever check out DebraJoy channel..she a talker like U
Ruidoso is one of my favorite places. Spent a lot of time there and in Cloudcroft. Always wanted to live there! Maybe one day?
Me to
A long town this. ....one road town. Beautiful area. Love all the trees.
These drives are very relaxing...
Raised my children there!! Absolutely love that town, would move back if I could, left there to climb out of the (2008) crash, was 2010 by the time it rolled through there, great place to raise a family!!👍
Isn't it crazy how long it took to spread to different cities in the country? Here in Central Florida it didn't hit to 2011-2012.
Very cool thanks
Great video. New Mexico sure has a lot of different scenery.

My in laws live there, one of my favorite places there is, we go about 4 times a year
Chris Pearce , Bring us some rain!!!

You are missing out, their summer monsoon rains are absolutely wonderful.
I filled up my 4 Runner for $14. dollars today.. ( and Was the same in March) I have only filled up once a month.. this last two months
"Just endure it. It doesn't last forever." Well said.
Thanks for showing us the pretty scenery on your drive. I don't like windy days! Too cold there for me! Damn! Downtown 100 miles!
Awesome video going to see my daughter and her Hubby to be -all the way from the Rio Grande Valley-plus your singing was 👍
Angling the camera to the right really improves the videos. Good move!! Love your videos; keep it up!
I lived there back in 1985 two main roads then was suddereth an meechum alot has changed since then where walmart is there was a Safeway it also used to have a Gibson farm and ranch store that little town is much bigger now.
Keren😎😎😎
Used to be trotters racing there. Stayed over night on my way home from exiting my draft status in the 60's from Ft. BLISS.
The snow kicked up so we stopped over at a hotel...
Holiday inn?
Just got back from Ruidoso today. Grew up in Artesiam NM.
Thanks for the drive. I used to live in the condos right east of the racetrack. I miss Ruidoso. I think Michalena's is closed now, but it was the best Italian food. Sierra Blanca is a nice drive.
Afternoon Rusty, enjoyed that long drive, the longer the better! Used you r Amazon link to buy a few things for the camper van..
Camper van, Ranger Pat? I'd call that the Taj Mahal for what it cost ya. But I bet it's a beauty!
rhondalyn100 Yeah I got a pretty good deal on it. But it was way still too expensive. I get my Social Security in one month and that’s going to pay for it.
Daaaaaaang...you had a heck of a career if SS will pay for THAT bad boy, Ranger Pat!
I retired from the Air Force back in 1999, I have been living on that retirement and my VA pension, those two pay for my mortgage, utilities and food. and anything else. I was waiting to get this RV when my SS kicked in so that the payment would not effect the way I live. Still will have some left over after the payment and insurance. so I am happy.. :-)
Say, Pat, its been a year now, what kind of van did you get? Do you love it or like it? Diesel or gas? Wet or dry bathroom? Pleasureway?
Ruidoso comes from the Spanish word ruido (noise). It means noisy,
which could be appropiate because of the strong winds.
Ruidoso was derived from riodoso ,bear river
Have been to same party as you with rentals. Noooh, life is too short for that. Haven’t seen this is in along time. Kudos!
Cool, little town🙂 Went to Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino👍Stayed the night, then hung out at Grindstone Lake. I went to shop at that Walmart also.
it is a pretty area for sure
I remember when you bought a house in Cloudcroft, you had lot with with a RV pad in Capitan, now you have something in Carrizozo, why haven't had any property in Ruidoso
?
A speed hump is for when you are in a hurry .
Dame your that Walmart I always go in Ruidoso New Mexico every trip!

June bugs look out on East coast
4.6 per oz. in Tampa natural ice. Cheapest beer. Have 3 case stored up while in key west Florida. That might last 2 weeks.
You save me cash going for a drive with me there comming as hell i love it
Very disappointed in downtown Ruidoso. Nothing original. All the “modern”” fast food, junk food place. Where has authentic New Mexico gone? So sad.
7-28-19. 12:00 am. I can’t believe it !!! It’s RAINING!!!😲😲😲
"I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken." I'm not sure who said that, but it certainly is true! Maintenance fees, that's why Rusty didn't buy a condo! This is better than Google Earth by the way. Nice drive, thanks for the views!
I love all the comments at the end!
lol! It has changed!
What’s the best time of year to visit Santa Fe, NM? Great job today Rusty.
Autumn
I live in T or C
Did I see a Blockbuster Video?!🎬
No more Albertsons here in Nevada... now SaveMart. Ski at Mammoth Mountain, California until the 4th of July.
PIggly Wiggly still alive and strong here in Tennessee, Ranger Butterfield...
rhondalyn100 I'll alert the media!
I like a Ranger who accepts delegation of authority. Thank you, Ranger Butterfield!
Nice town! When your at your homebase what do you do with your camper in high winds?
Thanks for the Ruidoso video, I was interested in what it looks like. Did you get the fence boards? By the way, In my area of Southern CA., I'm paying $18.88 for a 36 pack of Budlight.
@ Rustity BR549 ,,
You can't rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd... but you kin be happy.. if you've a mind to.
Russ did I hear say vato, LOL you been hanging out in Brownsville Tx, that’s a really nice area.
haha I heard it on the comment call, thats border talk vato,
We are about to go full time rv-ing, if u camped there how much were full hook up spots?
Wow, LOOK at those trees blowing from the wind
Rusty. I was trying to find a video to see what your van looks like
rusty78609 .. ok, thanks
Ruidoso = Noisy

???
