Good place to roll.....
I’m one half New Mexican which probably surprises folks given my particular southerness
Great grandpa and grandma buried in Artesia
Great uncle and aunt in vets cemtary off North Guadalupe in Santa Fe
Dad born in Artesia and his siblings in Carlsbad and Las Cruces
Mississippi folks out there building govt roads in the 20s though my great grandpa went there for asthma in 1890s while it was still territory and fairly wild
I love the state especially Chama area......
We used to own property north of Santa Fe and dad was friendly with the Murphy family who had the Pink Adobe back then
Rosalia the mom died about 7 years ago and was from New Orleans with Mississippi kin
I think her descendants just sold out for around 13 m
God bless
It’s a beautiful place, and away from the cities people really know how to pull together.
I do, too. When I visited Chama in 1995, the local railroad featured steam locomotives--not just for the tourists, but also to haul freight. When a steam locomotive pulled some freight cars over a grade crossing, I felt like I was back in the 1920's.
