Twice a year I drive from El Paso to Las Cruces then to Roswell, down to a Artesia and back to El Paso. Whether I go through Carlsbad, Cloudcroft or Hondo.. those roads seem ok to me. Maybe I’m just used to the sh-tty roads here in and around Memphis.
To be honest those aren’t the roads they’re talking about but you get close when your around Artesia. It’s the far south east corner where all the drilling and production is taking place, your kind of skirting around the major play. I put in some wells west of Artesia up in the Dagger draw area but it’s nothing compared to the area around Jal, Eunice and Hobb’s. It starts to fade out up around Milinsands. That road from Hondo to Roswell is a fairly new road, it used to be two lane all the way from the Texas line to Ruidoso.
