Glad 🙂 live in Lincoln county New Mexico since 98.

the downsides are, very limited jobs and the pay is always crappy, if u live there tourist season is always packed, and can drive u crazy and then theres the motorcycle rally every year, instead of nice and quiet all u hear is motocycles going up and down the road for a week. . so living there theres not a lot to do, its always more for tourist

I visited Ruidoso recently & loved that it's so nice there & peaceful! The only bummer is that there's only like 3 grocery stores. Downtown stores close too early & not that many restaurants, gyms, & anything else you expect from a big city. Maybe it would be good to only have a vacation home there🤔

@@jimjohnson6944don’t listen to that person. Move here if you want but remember, small towns aren’t as open to new people as they claim. So while nobody will know or care whether your a tourist or not it will be hard to meet friends. That’s why this town is a better vacation town. 75% of the homes are second homes fr Texas, Texas literally lifts up the economy and most available jobs are based on this.

Excellent video!! Well produced, and the vibe of your videos are at a great pace unlike other real estate videos of towns and cities where they yell or have an odd voice over, and rushed clip sequences, just another nod to the NM video production skills! Looking to move back to Cruces NMSU alum '19 living in San Diego county currently. Interested in maybe videos on Alamogordo, Deming, Silver City, Hatch, TorC and the many other great towns of NM if those are hopefully in the works! Thank you for your work and informative videos!

Love that thumbnail! 😄

Great vidoe

I like the area a lot

Lived in Ruidoso for 23 years. Tbh I hated it….. it’s so much different living there than it is visiting as a tourist. I get the appeal of it for sure. But as kid growing up into my teens and adulthood. There was just nothing to do unless you’re naturally an outdoors type of person. I wasn’t. I always told myself I was a city boy stuck in a small town. Regardless it’s just my own experience and I do have this thought that I would love to move back there someday when I retire. I guess I’m pretty conflicted lol

The mountain range honestly isnt that big, its like 40 by 60 miles, with no major streams or rivers. Further north around taos is better and more scenic.

The song "Smokey the Bear" by Eddie Albert I think promoted by Walt Disney with the coloring books and toys got us all confused . The Man who found him was named Smokey as well so maybe that is how it started. I can see how each could be correct.
