Did they rename New “Mexico” to New America yet?

“southeastern Arizona”
It will be trampled and destroyed by illegals if Democrats regain power and open the borders back up again.
And the bought-off Sierra Club won’t do a thing about it.
Home to coyotes, jaguars, peccaries, illegals and Mexican drug cartels.

Chiricahua National Park is the old Chiricahua National Monument renamed!
I can’t tell you how many thousands of miles I’ve ridden a dirt bike in that countryside. Sorry Vista, Sonoita, Benson, Bisbee, Patagonia, Tombstone, China Peak. And I couldn’t believe how much I fell in love with the desert. It’s such a harsh environment and everything that lives there is so highly specialized for life with no water. It’s an amazing place.
We often stopped in Council Rocks natural amphitheater (in the Chiricahuas) for meal breaks. Sometimes ducked into abandoned mine shafts to escape the heat while taking a break.
I also bicycled hundreds of miles every week, and got a flat about once a week because of the thorns from the accursed ironwood trees. Two of the bike shops in Sorry Vista sponsored a ride once a week called “Breakfast in Bisbee.” Ride to Bisbee, breakfast in the restored Victorian dining room of the Copper Queen hotel, then back to Bisbee.
I would pre-hydrate for the ride drinking half a gallon of water, and I’d drink two 24-oz bottles of water going and again on the return. Plus I’d eat a tall stack of pancakes with a side of chorizo and two glasses of milk at the Copper Queen.
Because the ride was so hot, I’d typically weigh 5-10 pounds less after the ride than before I started the pre-hydration.
Which means I’d sweated off 184 ounces of water and milk, plus the food, plus another gallon or so of bodily fluids.
It’s a HOT place.
