My sister in law is from Cloudcroft. Her parents owned a ski lodge there. She and my brother live in Alabama now, but she sure hates the humidity. They have to come back to NM every summer for a couple of weeks to get away from it. lol
I lived for 5 years as a kid in Alamogordo, and then graduated from HS in Ruidoso (my Grandparents owned a fishing place where you could catch rainbow trout). I loved Ruidoso, but it's not the same. Cloudcroft still seems to be a sleepy little town, altho it might not be by the time I am ready to retire.
Called my Dad in Roswell tonight. They had hail the past 2 days, and he said they'd had rain, which thrilled him.
