(3,469 posts)my husband came out of the bedroom at midnight and said "Happy New Year." It was so quiet here, I didn't even know it had hit midnight yet.

(9 posts)How's the lake? I used to love coming up there to fish, boat and just spend time until the lake level there and elephant butte dropped so much. I preferred Caballo because it's so quiet.

(3,469 posts)The level seems about the same this year at Caballo but Elephant Bitte Lake is really low. We spend winter going back and forth between Elephant Butte Lake State Park and Caballo Lake S.P. in a motorhome. Ahh, yes, the quiet...that's why we stay here. Off season, both places are heaven.
Welcome to DU, btw!

(34,136 posts)Fortunately my cat doesn't care and the horses are used to explosions.A different neighbor had a firing range on part of his land bordering the farm and spent all day Friday practicing his shooting. Since that happens a few times every month, our horses are pretty much bomb proof.
