I'm not one for living in a motorhome myself, but I have always thought that it's a great thing for many others.
How wonderful to hear that this state gives you a bargain on staying here.
Warpy's warnings about the altitude are very important. At the risk of too much information, the nosebleeds may not completely go away. I've been in Santa Fe five years now, and every single time I blow my nose there's a bit of blood. I'm used to it by now.
We are being warned all over the state that this year may be an exceptionally bad fire season because of continuing drought. The Santa Fe New Mexican paper has been writing articles about the very real danger here. I happen to live on the south side of the city which is far less likely to experience a wildfire because of local topography and relative lack of trees.
I moved here from Overland Park, Kansas, and I am very, very happy I did so. I am also capable of complaining about various aspects of life here, but I love the climate. Living at altitude -- we're about 7,000 feet here -- suits me. I've had no problems making friends, and even though I was already 60 when I moved here, I've had not trouble finding jobs.
Like every single other state in this wonderful country of ours, we have lots of wonderful places to see and explore. Museums, art galleries, theater, sports. We don't have any major league teams in this state, which I personally think is a positive, we have some minor league teams, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and New Mexico State in Las Cruces have very loyal fans of their various sports.
Oh. While you're in the southern part of the state consider going to the VLA, the Very Large Array of radio telescopes about 60 miles west of Socorro. I was there a couple of weeks ago when my son was visiting. I've been there several times before, and it's always worth seeing.
Have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute here.
