Came really, really close to buying a cabin up next to the national forest to live in full time. But so far to drive for groceries and so expensive once you got to the grocery store in Springerville, AZ. But damn I sure love me some New Mexico. Grajeeated from NMSU back in the dinosaur days. Mother Nature please send some rain down there.
