    Hey Rusty, Have you ever had dinner at The Lodge Cloudcroft Inn by the golf course ? Great food but expensive. From the dining room you can see White Sands. Learned to ski up there when I was eight years if age. Brings back memories.

    I loved that scenic drive! That's even nicer than the road in from the other direction. I hope you had a nice holiday weekend.

    I remember this from your video last year. Got to see a little more of it this time. It looks like a fun place and the mountain drive was beautiful.

    Cloudcroft is a nice little mountain town. We went there in a campervan some years back. Enjoyed visiting there again through your video.

    Herald Bluetooth was the king of the Vikings so when The Swedish Company Ericson developed the Technology they named it Bluetooth after the king of the Vikings. Look it up you don’t believe me.

    My kids live in Alamogordo and I have been a few times. My favorite place to visit is Cloudcroft!!! Mad Jack's is my favorite place to eat while there. There was a pizza place there as well but, I do not remember the name but it was fantastic pizza!

    I was just curious how the way to cloudcroft from Alamogordo looked and in the last minute or so of your video I saw my family and husky walking across the street in the downtown area. What are the chances of that?

    Hey Rusty!! Nice drive, hope you had a good ride over and back. Have you ever had Mad Jacks BBQ in Cloudcroft? I hear they have some good BBQ if you can make in before they sell out!!

    Last year my GPS told me this was the fastest route to Denton TX. Well I got to experience a trip through the mountain & enjoyed every bit of it. I made it to Arista then traveled up to Rowell to get on 380 & headed straight to Denton. I was very exhausted when I got to Denton. I passed out at a Walmart parking lot afterwards.

    I've visited relatives in Alamogordo, NM twice in my lifetime. And we drove up to Cloudcroft and Riudoso. I don't remember a tunnel but it has been a long time. That's a nice drive.

    Is it wise for seventy-something year old man to be driving windy, mountain roads in a car with a manual transmission, with one hand on the wheel and the other hand holding up a cellphone recording TH-cam vidyas? I think not.
