From a jamaican born in Jamaica grew up in New York and also live in New mexico for 2 1/2 years, I can say New mexico is beyond beautiful still my favourite state
I'm a German--born in Berlin--who was raised in Wisconsin and then moved to New Mexico, where I lived for 23 years. I feel like this is where I was meant to be.
Hii
@@ClearTheRubble7 I was 12 in 1963 when my parents drove us ,on Route 66, across NM to visit LA,California. It captured my soul as soon as we hit Tucumcari, at night, and the neon motel signs, then the land, sunlight, sagebrush on the rolling hills, etc. NM is the most beautiful state to me. And the history, culture, wonderful people. I visited every few years throughout my life and at 62, retired here 9 years ago. It's Paradise, I thank the Lord I spend my final years 🙏 here
I had friends visit Jamaica to seek unexplored caves.
They said most tourist caves also had urine that
could be smelled. Using their speleology data they
told me the year that the island ground water out
of pumps will probably become an acquired taste.
Red Label Beer has had no comment.
I live in New Mexico and never get tired of exploring it. Visitors would also find magic in Chaco Canyon, Tent Rocks, Bandolier National Monument, El Morro/Inscription Rock, El Malpais (igneous rock badlands with "lava tube" ice caves and volcanic craters), Albuquerque's Old Town, the Sandia Tram, Acoma Pueblo, Carlsbad Caverns, Ghost Ranch (where Georgia O'Keeffe did a lot of her paintings), Madrid (old mining town in the Sandia's), Jemez Mountains (along Highway 4 there's alpine scenery, Jemez Pueblo, red rock canyons, hot springs, waterfalls, incredible beauty), Chimayo, Ruidoso, Shiprock (in the Navajo Nation). And probably the greatest attraction of all: New Mexican food, featuring red and green chili. I sound like someone from the NM Tourist Board, lol, but I'm just an average NM resident.
Don’t roam around the deserts. Todd Alquist might shoot you. Lol.
Don't roam around the desert without bringing lots of water.
@@Catlily5 True. Many a person has made that mistake. Recently I heard about two separate sets of tourists from non-desert areas who got stranded in southwest deserts, never to return. They underestimated the dangers and weren't prepared for them. I used to hike alone in some canyons, but won't do that anymore.
@@ClearTheRubble7 The French tourists in White Sands was a sad story.
Looking forward to going in September!
I miss New Mexico 😍
Why
What a wonderful state.... I love New Mexico!
Wait do you like kpop???
@@taeyongsteeth4662 hes not gonna reply
I live in New Mexico and I love it
Used to live here when I was 2, now I’m 14 and moving back on December 28 which is in 15 days, gonna miss Texas and my friends but hopefully I’ll enjoy it there again
I recommend a street legal dirt motorcycle of about 350cc if made in Japan.
Tight engines that won't leak oil. To see NM , TX, and go home again on
my Suzuki DR-650 is a 2, 700 mile road trip. I'd rather do that distance
on the Pacific Ocean coastal highways again.
It’s a memorable place to visit
I love new Mexico so much
I have to visit New Mexico one day. Looks amazing!
It depends when you come, what are you looking for when coming? The landscape and nature or more of a cultural experience?
Dont its not that great over here
I used to work in Old Town, a tourist attraction in Albuquerque, and saw a lot of visitors who would return almost every year. They were pretty happy with their experiences here.
Christina Rahman it depends where you go and when, I live in Rio ranch and balloon fiesta is amazing as well as pueblos also the food here is great
Come during ballon fiesta if your gonna come, otherwise its basicly pointless.
Quite impressive...Thanks friends..
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Yes ,
I'd like to visit thanks to this video 😄
I'm in new mexico
Too bad you didn't mention Carlsbad Caverns. I've been going to that place for a long time.
Im goin to new mexico next thursday!!!
How was your trip?
I'm good
We didn't go after all we went to Iowa instead to visit our family but we got stranded in a blizzard 🥶 for 3 hours the temperature was at negative 27 degrees fahrenheit!!!
new mexico seems pretty cool, im going in the summer :)
Dont you wont like it, unless you come for balloon fiesta its basicly pointless.
I agree go to cloud craft.
@@voxle3976 theres is other places to go without balloon fiesta
Whits sands is fire af
Fax do you live in New Mexico!!
Please visit central avenue in ABQ lots of houses painted with art.
Add Meow Wolf to the list!
Not hating or anything but next time learn how to pronounce the town names and attractions.
Yeah but once again people with money moving to places they don’t understand and think they know best
I know, it just grates my eardrums to hear people mispronounce. Gila is pronounced He la not geela. It is Spanish. Do not go to the Billy the kid museum.
It is a long drive for very little. Plus cars and phones were not part of the era. Clearly, the video producer has not been to NM.
I love New Mexico it is one of the best places to visit in the lower 48.... For you naysayers please tell me one state that doesn't have crime drug problem or homeless... Let's see it's not Texas it's not Florida
NY
umm yeah there ISN’T any state that does not have these problems.
On a previous trip to again explore under Fort Stanton
(now having 40 miles of completed cartography), I
was asked to assist mapping of Endless Cave found
south of Roswell. It was then still endless. What
I won't do is be herded on trails like livestock.
Number 1 should be visiting Los Pollos Hermanos 🍗😋
I live in New Mexico City where the balloons flying!
You forgot something what about the Sandia Mountains
Fuck the sandia mountains, they are boring as hell, go to like any other mountian and you will have a better time.
Sadly the crime rate is high out there! When I visited someone tried to steal our RV I was so scared and I had my kids with me.... if you ever go to New Mexico dont go alone and take weapons with you! Its a beautiful place but it’s dangerous in most places!
Thank you .
Dont bring weapons, batter yet dont come. Dont worry the locals hate it to its called the land of entrapment for a reason.
I moved here 1998 from Houston, TX. NM is clean, friendly and as law abiding as AZ, TX, CO, UT, etc. You can find some bad people in any church and some good people in any slum. I now live in Espanola, NM right in the middle of northern NM. It has a reputation as a small tough city however its not. True many people still speak Spanish, Spanglish and of course American.
To the Daughter of the Great I Am, sorry about your bad experience here but "BAD" lives in everybody's hometown. I hope you turned it into the local police and they give or tried to give you some satisfaction. Please don't stop traveling and visiting new places, we all live in one of the greatest countries on earth. Please everyone come visit. An old US Vet, 1966-1970 now happily living right here until the "Great I Am" comes and takes me home to my other heaven.
Stay around central and Louisiana streets area very nice.
Sorry about your bad experience.. I have lived in NM for many, many years by myself, gone on many remote hikes alone and have luckily only experienced kindness, never had anything bad happen to me.
How I miss the the hot air balloons
Could not make it through... that back music is too much.
Thanks for your feedback! :)
u cute
Cool input.
mmm u cute
@@melvinwilliams4332 You are adorable.
sorry dude as a native new mexican gila is pernounced hila the g sounds like a h and bisti, say it how it looks i is not a e in the native tounge but just what it looks like bis ti
ITS GILA
Gila as in "Hee lah"
I think you missed the best 'Breaking Bad'
The sad thing is that this video was posted the same day that everything closed :(
The best thing to do in New Mexico is HIDE anything you consider valuable before it is stolen!
I was born here
Number one - Leave the state ASAP .
HE LA is how you pronounce Gila.
You forgot to add one more.
#1: make some crystal meths
Exactly
Or buy hella cheap, I can hook you up. I know a guy.
BUY AS MANY GUNS AS YOU CAN
Or just like lock your shit or keep it in your garage.
La tierra del encanto aunque mucho lamento czcams.com/video/YEaB0OvXeDs/video.html
We're also famous from meth.
The narrator needs to work on his pronunciations in Spanish. Lingo Gringo sounds unprofessional.
The meth is cheap here, try it sometime!
If you have kids don't move here, bad place. To many drugs lots of people dying. Education sucks.
I’m 9 and I live in nm I love it the schools are great 😌
Yes go to Texas please
#1. Leave.
Meh. I grew up in Albuquerque and the Jemez Mountains. There’s way better places to visit, especially up North. This video is all about novelty areas. BOOOOOO
If you are planning to visit Albuquerque, don't. The crime is obscene and not friendly to tourists. No matter what part of town you are in, the whole city has been overrun with drugs, homeless, and gang activity.
Dear Miss Ellen, crime lives in the soul of every city of our great USA, however here in NM, crime or bad behavior is no greater or any less active than other places in our great country. Well to do (Rich) "Karens" often show up and find the rural nature of NM unsettling as it is harder to "buy" people who are used to living the country life of freedom and openness out west.
Miss Ellen, I don't know where you live, however are you stating that your town/city does not have any people that use drugs? Really! Your hometown does not have a single homeless person? And, not even one gang? Look up the definition of the word gang, two or more people etc, together doing things, good or bad things, etc. My wife, my children, together in public could be under those terms a gang, and in our living room at times on Christmas morning I wonder.
I would like to invite you to revisit NM, however due to your attitude maybe it would be best if you just drive around NM next time your traveling. We enjoy all folks that are kind, unfortunately not everyone is. God made all types of folks, your one type and I guess we are another!
However live a blessed life and be as kind to all things/people/etc as possible.
Yes do us a favour do not come to any Mexico stay in Texas nothing for you here
NOT TRUE
