7:24 Welcome to New Mexico. Ranchers have their own set of laws. Lock any gate, block any road.

I am from El Paso tx i used to spend a lot of my grade school and high school in New Mexico and Texas desert and forest beautiful place used to camp with the bare necessities bathed in the streams lakes lagoons I had a blast i do miss the times.

I love when two of my favorite KZreadrs colab and make amazing videos. Because of my work schedule, I can only get out a few time a year. Your videos really help me mentally escape even if only for a short while. Thank you!

Great video, New Mexico specifically the southern portion Carlsbad over to Gila National forest was my first ever road trip. The Gila Cliff dwellings was awesome. I'm planning the enchanted Rockies trail hopefully this year we'll see.

I was born and raised in Southern New Mexico and hunted the Lincoln national forest most of my life I could take you to places you wouldn't believe. I can even take you to the point where John Tunsel was shot if you don't know who he is he was the one that took in Billy the Kid and made him a regulator for the Lincoln County wars. You're only seeing a fraction of it, a lot of it is owned by the muscularo Apache tribe

Good to know about the D rated tires. I'll need to look into what my new E rated tires should be aired down to.

Awesome video! Unfortunately, I work out here around Carlsbad NM a lot (that's where i am now) on a Snubbing rig and this weather does change drastically quite often. Also dealing with the closed gates a lot that property owners kind of over step, can be a bit frustrating. But none the less, it does make for fun and crazy turn of events..

What you did is cool, but sometime venture a little further West and check out the Gila National Forest in Southern NM. BTW I was just on an overland/roadtrip through the midwest, Ozarks included. I reside in the mountains of New Mexico. Also, if State land is leased by a rancher, it will sometimes be locked. The state sells an annual permit allowing access to these areas.

Here in NM, you have to be careful because NM does lease BLM and state trust land in a way that allows the exclusion of all motor vehicle traffic and requires a special permit for day use. Sometimes those gates are legal.
