A lot of places in New Mexico a tank away from the interstate, but you wouldn’t want to live in any of them.

I have been bitten by a rattlesnake [back in the mid '70s] not too far from Deming. I spent about four real interesting but not fun days getting stable enough to be transported for better medical care [I was with an Apache kid who had been a tank crewman in my outfit, though not my own crew, who knew what he was doing with me] and I was very happy to live there at that particular time.

Survival Hint: when stepping outside the immediate camp area to attend to a call of nature during the hours of darkness, do not step on a western diamondback longer than you are tall.
