Where I am in NM, they say, has a higher crime rate per capita than 99% of America. A neighbor told me 3 people were shot, 2 were murdered here 10 years ago.. Meth idiots trying to take over the area, trying to scare away land owners living here. My advice... Get a barking pit bull and a 9mm...

It's hot, pets are hot, I am hot.....lots of money I guess solves that, rules me out 💵🤑.. I have reflective covers over the windows on the sun side, stopping the hot glass is half the battle. When parked wind here comes from mostly 1 direction, so rear of minivan open with full screen, wind...

Since the stupid howling wind will not stop to do the other 2 covers.... I got curious Here is the difference between the thermometer against the glass with Mylar inside the glass and inside against the glass, with my covers outside the glass.. It actually went down to 81 while I am writing 16...

The glass underneath in full sun is cool...My Grand Caravan is a Sport, super dark back windows but the glass is still blazing hot. I thought about putting darker film but Without the reflective stuff... Still glass is hot. I figured it out because this van has a tremendous windshield and at...

Finally got enough cell reception 😉

Here is my cooling off solution... 2 windows finished and 2 to go... Simple... Tape out stretched a $1 mylar blanket (I got 20 for $20). Spray with loctite cement (can $6) lay cardboard over mylar.. Aluminum tape the edges so coming magnets can more easily be removed... Sliding door fits...

Santa Fe and Carson are also closed. If you saw the cracking dry soil here and dust you would not be surprised

Here is the website for this place... People list lots there too... One woman has 7, she sent me a list. Trees are in only upper units... From me up they just get thicker.. http://www.trespiedrasestates.com/

Yes I agree, you must either have enough money to deal with Govt or carry water or get a tank... It's the same in Arizona too

Well we made it..... New Mexico Let me start by saying the 1500 mile trip in a minivan 300lbs over GVWR was at times a breathtaking experience. I have been on the same roads, some 2 lane that were maybe 50-55mph. At 65 it was not pleasant. Some turns at those speeds, well you just slow down...

twicetheice.com These are dual ice and filtered water machines. Taos has one right on main road in downtown. 5 gallons was $1.75. Seems they are all over.. The url above you can find them. Solved my issue fast.
