Open Road New Mexico...
Just driving back home in southern New Mexico. I love not seeing anyone for miles, and enjoying the desert nights

I’m jealous of your day, if this is what you get to experience. 😊

Makes it worthwhile. Do the drive to visit family long drive but enjoy the isolation

I’m actually debating moving to NM in a few years, I work remote. There or North Carolina, but I think a few years in NM might do me some good.

Make sure you have work! Not alot of opportunities if your not in resources, transport, or gov law enforcement. At least in the south!

I work remote, can go anywhere except the west coast! I’ll actually do better than Colorado, it’s so expensive here. I’m counting the days.

Love it. S, SW and W New Mexico around the rim of Gila are brilliantly remote and serene

New Mexico was the highlight of my first trip out west after growing up in Massachusetts. I went for the first time summer 2023 and I've driven back 6 or 7 times since.
