“The SW is not like anywhere else I’ve visited the terrain is very mountainous and the vegetation consist mostly scrub land with scattered juniper and pine forests. However, outdoors is always teaming with life, birds especially. People here love being outdoors hiking riding exploring . In New Mexico the sun shines more than 300days each year and there is no aweful humidity. I Love noticing the variety of colors that I see in the landscape. Rock collecting is now my favorite thing to do..”
