The "world as it is" ain't the massive mess of "thoughts" bouncing around in people's heads. The best thing about getting away from the cacophony of noise, is being able to be alone with your own mind.... and if you learn how to be very still and very quiet, you can learn what the real world is...

In the US I have insurance from a company that has been around for ever and had has a good rep... and my experience with them has also been good. I don't know anything about who is covering you in MX, but maybe you vetted them?

Do you know that they will pay?

Many parcels are much cheaper than that, and the driving to and fro is nearly all paved... or county gravel roads that are well maintained. Sure the last bit to your parcel might be crap if there isn't a POA that collects for road maintenance. Apparently Cibola County does not have any code...

We have hundreds of deer and elk living in town (Ruidoso, NM), along with a herd of wild horses! None are afraid of the dogs. But when you get out of town where they are actually wild, they act very differently! It's also amazing how few there are, relatively...

I checked out that area for the first time in March... usually camp north of Yuma or NW of Tucson (Ragged Top Mtn) in the past. I didn't get a very good look since I only spent a couple days, but the places I checked out were pretty overrun. Craggy Wash was packed and a mess, the Bunker Bar loop...

Johnny, does the county that Kamp Koon resides in officially allow camping, or is it the more typical "we don't care until someone complains"?

No pitter patter of little packrat feet?

Indeed. Human power takes fuel also, but most of us are carrying around a surplus of that, so...

High elevation (5-7k ft) in the SW will have the most moderate year round temperature... the farther south the better. ABQ really is a good choice I think, with the El Morro area being near. Check out zillow, there are tons of 2+ acre properties for <$10k. Cell service will be poor though...

I wonder why you are concerned about heat but not cold. Working at night and sleeping during the day? Can your job be transferred? I had a look at your other thread, but didn't see... except that you tended to work nights, getting up at 8pm. Albuquerque isn't that hot, low 90s in summer and...

The "e" part seems like an unnecessary complication unless your fitness is poor... I have a "no-shocks" mtb with 3"x29" tires. On many tracks in the mountains NE of Q that were frequented by the SxS scourge, I was left wondering if I should have bought a full suspension bike. Loose gravel of...

Humility and curiosity are the best means to discovering what's true...

I used to think the Dems were considerably less prone to this, but it's getting worse across the board.

My head is still spinning regarding my neighbor's belief in flat earth. Heck 19% of millennials believe it! It's like a cult... no amount of evidence is sufficient to dissuade belief. It's particularly frustrating because I'm a frickin' aerospace engineer who built satellites and launched them...

Where?

If only people didn't enjoy getting taken in by internet rumors so much...

I was planning on it, but it was cloudy. In S NM I doubt it would have been visible, but who knows... Where are you?

^^^ The different methods are interesting. I prefer to camp where I won't see or hear another human, and they won't see or hear me... so there isn't any competition for sites. I can achieve that pretty easily except for the SxSs. I keep using the same spots unless I want to scout for another...

Where do you park in Kenmore? I don't mean precisely, rather is it in a parking lot, or a street, etc. Target sounds awesome! Did they have such good policies pre-covid as well?
