    I love this New Mexico series you have going! I’m a native New Mexican and often times we are overshadowed by our education system, the drug problem and crime. Yes those are terrible but looking past those it’s a beautiful state with amazing culture, history, food and land! Thank you for exploring it and I hope you guys have another video of New Mexico soon!

    I'm loving this series. We travel to NM a fair amount due to living in AZ, but we've never made it to Truth or Consequences. One of favorite places was a B&B near Taos. They told us about an excellent restaurant called The Stakeout, too. It was a little ways out of town, but excellent and worth the wait.

    I just love the stories. The hot springs adventure, wow! That family has created a wonderful place for people to relax and enjoy. I can imagine the owners being ready to retire and be part of the 'here to enjoy' crowd instead of keeping on working trying to keep up with the modern guest and their needs/wants. That brewery was a wee bit bigger than the one I visited last week. Looked awesome. 🍺 Then the Space centre. Wow, who knew. You were so game Katelyn- always the thrill seeker. Well done you. Howard, how very observant of you- the positioning of the toilets 😂 😂 😂 ! Have a great week you two. 👍 💖 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇱

    Loved this video as-well! I think we may have to take our “Lucy” and re-visit New Mexico! We were just there two weeks ago, but haven’t visited T or C as yet. Fun and fascinating story of how that gentleman and his family found and quickly bought that hot springs land…it was just meant to be. Katelyn, my dear, I give you EXTRA Brownie Points for going through that strapped-in tumbling space chair (oh, whatEVER you call it!). There is no way, nada, not even in your dreams would I have attempted that. My tummy would have none of it! Thanks for sharing, as always. Love ya, Virginia

    riverbend is awesome when the river is running. By the way, it doesn't run all year, so be sure to check before making travel plans and don't forget to visit our vietnam veterans wall and our most awesome historic military museum that has some amazing artifacts documenting the military service of New mexicans

    There is a lot more to do than I’d imagine in Truth or Consequences. Didn’t Don Imus have a children’s ranch near there? Who Dey 🐅

    Who Dey, Big Jim! I didn't know about the ranch (bless you, Google), but from the description it says it was located in Ribera. That's much further north than Truth or Consequences, I would say closer to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Went down the rabbit hole a little reading up on the ranch! 😂👍 -Howard

    New Mexico is largely populated by native people on reservations. How does the noise and vibrations of the spaceport rockets impact them?

    Thank you so much for your concern, Nemo. Truth or Consequences is a 25 mile drive to Spaceport America and we don't hear any noise. The closest reservation, Mescalero, is 147 miles away. One thing we have in New Mexico is space.

    ,guess what nemo- new mexico is not largely populated by native Americans. Our Hispanic population is the largest ethnic group at 48 percent, whites at 36 percent and native Americans at 10 percent. Everyone hears the rockts- some more than others
