The home stretch is upon us . Fret not tho I have some good ideas for the near future . How’s everyone liking the series idea of doing week to 10 day segments
Yes these are very welcome. Thank you so much
Sounds wooderful
This series is really awesome. I also love your theme park videos and all in between. As long as you keep putting out content then I’ll be here for it, no matter what the format. Thanks for giving us this beautiful view of the quieter parts of our country :) 👍🏼
EO YOU STILL HAVE LARGE mARGA
Loved all of your trip videos this trip :) thank you so much for sharing.
With tears streaming down my face I can't THANKYOU enough for this video. My dad was taken to Taos.N.M. then to a area then called Cuatas above Moses. He married there in in 1929..and they left for OKLA. In 1938.. His dad died in. Raton..in 1939..
I'm 70 now and m early blind . always wanted to go back there but can't now..but through you I've got to see all of this...
Went thru Raton twice...beautiful
Why are you crying?

Welcome home. A su casa
I live in Gallup New Mexico and let me tell you, it is one of the most beautiful landscapes of The United States.
You just barely scratched the surface. I was a fortunate child growing up in New Mexico, where every summer I got to travel the back roads and trails of that magical state with my father. It's one of America's best kept secrets. Nice vid!
The longer I live in New Mexico the more I have grown to love this state. Maybe the quiet or the step back in time.
I live in Carlsbad
Looks really great as I can see in this vid. How about job opportunities and entrepreneurship?
I'm not surprised.
Land of entrapment.
I've visited NM and love it but the population there is aging and not many young people around. Without major companies and lack of youth means the future of NM is grim...unfortunately.
nowhere in the world will you ever see a sunset like the sunsets in the Land of Enchantment
Amen, esp in July
Or the stars on a clear summer night.
Shhh...
You got that right brother the sunsets in New Mexico are beautiful
I hail from Texas. But New Mexico is in my heart. Since I was a child of three I was fishing the river by our cabin. I have been through most of the state and recognize many places that you shot. My great-grandfather was a doctor Cimarron in the early 1900’s. Then later in Nara Visa where he had a drug store with a fountain and got more money than livestock for his services. I met him once but I cannot remember it. My roots run deep and my experiences roll through my mind. Loved the vintage signs. Thanks for the adventure.
As a New Mexican, it’s always disappointing how little people know about my beautiful home state!
Rachel Gutierrez Why shouldn't they know? Little people have rights too! ;D
When I was moving back to California from Texas last year, I enjoyed my drive in New Mexico, I also liked the architecture of some of the buildings there.
@Random Traveler Lol you could tell you've never been to nm
Yeah i used to live in espanola goodfriday is crazy.
Rachel Gutierrez not much there but a Whole lot of nothing to know about Rachel. It’s mainly a desert. No people. Poor people at that.
I once stopped in a town in New Mexico called Wagon Mound. I’ll never forget how isolated it felt to be there for just a few minutes.
I live in that area and Wagon Mound is the closest place to my house where I can get gas. 😂😂 So by that definition it's a major town.
@@maryfeitz4295 I’d love to live out that way when I retire. I love that whole area and especially the Raton Pass and Trinidad area. I fell in love with the area when I was stationed in Albuquerque. Going back and forth to Colorado Springs was always a joy to me.
@@maryfeitz4295 What's it like to live out there? I dream of living somewhere remote as well one day.
Perfect only needs a wal mart.Like store
Sale everything. Store.. would be my town.
A lot of people find peace in isolation
LOVE MY STATE WE GET ALL FOUR SEASONS OF WEATHER IN 20 MINUTES
Heck yeah I live in the mountains In New Mexico. It's hot then 15 minutes later it's raining
@@killcharge4338 Bi Polar like the new mexico ladies lol🤗
@@nickrolando7747 Unfortunately we don't have a lot
New Mexico true babby
@Sondra Vickers NO OFFENSE LOVE MY NEW MEXICO ALBUCRAZY 505 LADIES TOO ♥️😗
growing up in New Mexico, my dad was very into hunting out the lost ghost towns all over the state, the area around Magdelena, Chimayo, Carizozo, Tucumcari, Jemez, all real places to be discovered, take your time in New Mexico, there's a lot to see, Algodones, Pena Blanca, Vaughn
Out of all the comments, yours was the best. I'm new to New Mexico and I find very little info to where to go.
So true- From NM ❤️
Santa Rosa NM Xo, good ol telltale and me
Same! My dad was quite a bit older when I was born, so he'd lived here in the 60s before he met my mom, and we moved here in '85, when I was seven. Grew up exploring ghost towns with my dad, fishing, and YMCA summer camp in the Jemez (VERY rustic!) I love NM, and I like to visit elsewhere, this isy home💕
Yo pappy wuh crazy as hell
I've done 5 solo trips from Chicago to Monterey California and back. New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places to drive through!
Take me with you next time!!!!!😀😀🥰🥰🥰
@@luisvilla799 Just what I was thinking ...
No it's not. Lol it's so not. It's uglier Arizona.
KitteN MittenS Do you travel through Circleville, Utah via route 15N, anytime soon possibly?
I ride with y
UK - I have visited NM several times for long periods , I was based more south in Alamogordo. I loved the state, I visited one of those old town run down stores, there was a large tray of Indian arrow heads " Indian War Surplus " ( still makes me smile ) . thanks for the memories.
Hiii
While you’re in New Mexico, I recommend visiting Cloudcroft in the Lincoln National Forest, elevation 8,668 feet. The town centre hasn’t changed much since the 1880s.
Nicholas Duckney My wife's parents retired there in the 90s. Since have passed. Pretty area, liked Riodoso.
My aunt’s family is from Cloudcroft, the trees are beautiful and the air is thin.
Nicholas Duckney hmmm I’ve heard good things.
Been through Cloudcroft a few times. On US 82 is the only road tunnel in the state. Lot's of hairpin turns climbing up to Cloudcroft.
I live there and is absolutely amazing! but tourists are mostly shunned alot in our small, closed, town.
Those cuties grazing out there are antelope. Oh fair New Mexico, my home sweet home.
Incidentally, they don't taste very good
I look forward to these videos every morning. They've been my morning routine with a cup of coffee!
Adam used to be my morning routine for years. Back when he was doing his daily vlog he would upload at 8:00 a.m. (my time) every single day. You could count on it. I couldn't wait to get my coffee and sit down with Adam. The man has some serious work ethic. 🧡🧡
Not a bad idea.😀
Us also, but during lunch :-)
Cassidy Ebert Good idea. I’m going to do that tomorrow morning 🙂
Same!!!!
Great video. My wife and I spent a number of years in New Mexico. At the time, I admit that I didn't appreciate it. But I do now. We just got back from NM a few months ago as we did a little week-long vacation back to the Land of Enchantment. New Mexico is a very unique place. It's impossible to really describe it. You just have to experience it.
Wow, gorgeous land of enchantment.!!!
Clayton, my husband n I were born there. U almost showed our nephews, Art's barber shop, next to Luna theatre. Where u stopped and saw that rolled wire, that's ours, there was a store n gas station, called Penington, wow. Gladstone, my address was Gladstone for 18 years. My parents for 72 years. Springer, my dad n sibs played at cactus bar many times. We still go out 6-7 x's a year, check on things. Our old stumping grounds. Wagon Mound, our nephew was mayor there. We have property in various areas.
I wish I could be American. I'm too much far. I wanna be there. One day I'll make it. Can't wait.
Ko
Its The Land of Entrapment. Nothing to see for the next 22 miles!
@@000FireRainHavoc000, yes
We see lots of beauty. All of God's nature.
Gorgeous Land of Enchantment, New Mexico!🤗
Thanks from this New Mexican. VERY interesting spots. I work for a professional land surveyor/engineer and I’ve seen this before. So damn interesting. The Chappell Spade Ranch survey in San Miguel county was both an sob and the damned coolest thing I’ve ever experienced. It was wilderness before the crew got there (never surveyed). Nothing like wild cattle chasing you, rattlesnakes everywhere and flies flying up your nose because it was cooler there. And I realized why western shirts were long sleeved. Protect you from the scorching sun in those higher elevations. New Mexican is truly the Land of Enchantment. My part of the state (eastern plains) is a little flat. But the landscape is beautiful. And those sunsets! And of course...Hatch Green Chile. Hmmm...Hatch. The Chile Capitol of The World
Makes me homesick. I live in Colorado now, but new Mex. Is my home!!!
Making a loop through Eagles Nest, Red River, Taos and Angle Fire is worth the effort!!! We stayed in Red River for 3 days!
This is called the Enchanted Circle :) .. It’s a joy living here ❤️
As a native New Mexican, i love when people say great things about our state😁 i love traveling across the state since theres SO much open land, almost untouched
Kudos for not including Santa Fe and ABQ. You went right through them (I’m assuming), but focused on the quiet, lesser known areas. Those cities usually get all the press. Thanks!
Best places to live
You're showing me places that I would never otherwise be able to see. And they are so different from where I live. Thanks Adam!
I just want to have a cup of joe with Woo because his sense of humor is everything that is good in this world ❤️
Shall you
When you visit New Mexico stop by Cerritos in Roswell! They have amazing authentic New Mexican food!
I've been there already.👍
I live in Roswell NM this is a beautiful state, especially the scenic routes.
it is beautiful but smells like 🐄💩
hey i live right by u i live in artesia nm
@@dorothynajar237 Artesia smells like 💩 too😂
I'm from Anthony New Mexico right next to El Paso Tx...it smells like 🐄💩 there too😂
NMMI, you can never escape...
I'm going to be sad when this road trip is over. I demand you then head back East and cover more small towns!
Here Here! 👍
Me to. I am enjoying it so much. H really has a mojo for this kinda of thing.
Preston Holland nobody cares about back East. You don’t demand things you ask politely. Having no manners you must be from back East.
I do not want it to end too😩😩😩
tim little if you are talking California you are right about manners not being better. I don’t like them people either.
You skirted around the South side of the Sangde de Christos mountains. The high road between Taos and Santa Fe is a stunning trip of beauty and small villages. Vaya con Dios!
I'd like to travel NM this summer in my RV pulling an enclosed trailer with one motorcycle and one ATV. But I've heard NM can be a dangerous place to travel. Did you ever feel unsafe or threatened on your trip?
@@timmarks5314 I never have. Been traveling there for years.
Must be great being a locomotive engineer. Peace and quiet, no phone calls, no emails, no crises, as you haul your load through some of the most stunning scenery on Earth.
Thank you Adam for this video. It's a very special one for me as I drove most of the roads you were on in this video. I lived in New Mexico 40 years ago and even though I found it exciting to revisit my favorite state, and you presented the content with respect and did not trash the hamlets and rundown towns you featured. Time has not been kind to my rural New Mexico but it's still beautiful. I still love it.
Good old New Mexico! That is where I once learned what snipe hunting was.
🤣 Yes snipe hunting!!! I'm a born and raised NM girl.
I think thats where I first heard about the snipe hunting...lol. Albuquerque guy here
What the heck is snipe hunting?
How many did you catch in your tow sack? You catch more with a white bag than a black one!
We hunt snipes in Texas, too!
Oh blue skies of New Mexico how we love you so.
Those old west style towns and that epic train shot... wow! This series format is a lot of fun Adam. Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
My favourite episode so far. Scenery was beautiful, town looked like it was right out of an old western movie. That train at the end was perfection. Well done!
I love the way you treat each place with respect and don't say negative things. For whatever reason, there are people who have to live in all of these places. The nostalgia, the beautiful old buildings, the landscape are all very interesting. I'm old enough to remember some of that nostalgia, even though I've always lived in the north. Good job. I enjoy your videos.
My Papa’s family is from White Oaks and Carizozo, the Leslies and the Lacies, I remember all of our family reunions were held at a little school house where they old timers all attended. I love how my family documented everything that happened to them when they first settled there, my great grandpa and his brothers ran cattle for a time with Billy the Kid. My families stories are now in the Library of Congress, and I have the honor of listening to my 94 year old Papa’s family stories told by him.
I am from Tennessee but both my parents are from New Mexico. I remember in the mid 2000s as a little kid how we would visit my grandparents there. The nostalgia comes flowing back when I think about it. The memory that gives me the most nostalgia was my bedroom in that house. The yellow walls. The old photos of when my dad was a kid. The bedsheets and pillows that were draped with wild west and Native America styled patterns and the blanket on the floor where my grandparent's dog Duke used to sleep. Man this brings a tear to my eye.
Cherishing moments for sure
Love that “Welcome to New Mexico “ sign!
Adam, thank you for taking me along with you on your journey across the states! Really have enjoyed your backroads trip! Looking forward to your next one.
New Mexico is truly the land of enchantment! first time there i felt this beautiful aura come over me. if i was moving it would be to New Mexico, near Santa Fe in between there and Taos🥰
You came through my home town! 😁 Springer NM, tons of historical stuff in our area, especially 20 miles west in Cimarron! Have enjoyed the series sad to see it coming to an end! Safe travels!
This is my first viewing and it really got my attention, I was raised in Las Vegas, NM. Now live in Portland OR and yearn for the wide open spaces of New Mexico. You're very correct. You could have spent two or three weeks in Vegas and still not have seen all the history. Thanks for this brief trip back in time.
I love Las Vegas! Great historical town! I love to go there and live the history, but since I live in Roswell I don't get there very often. I do spend a week or more when I go.
I went to Robertson high school
Missed him driving to Hermits Peak!
I was so glad I explored New Mexico last year, discovering beautiful landscapes(Bisti Badlands) and abandoned places. I drove the circle of enchantment in Carson National Forest....
Honesty I will never have a chance to leave my home state but i do appreciate you doing the traveling for me.. Thumbs up
Turquoise Trail is one of our favorite drives in New Mexico. Madrid has turned into quite the artist enclave.
Wow! You found a ton of fascinating things to see in this vid, including a number of great filming locations. But, I think the solitary folding chair in the middle of the desert might be my favorite.
NM is cold in January... I’d move back in heartbeat. I love that state - it’s called the Land of Enchantment for good reason.
I love new Mexico! I'll never leave it! Enchanted indeed!
I was born and raised in Bosque Farms New Mexico, and I wouldn't move back to that dump if they pay me to live there! It was a nice little farming Community from 1960 to 1975 when I was there, but it is nothing but wall-to-wall houses now there is no such thing as Bosque Farms!
@SLAMO and I've been living in Fort Collins for the last 14 years and I love it and I wish I had a grown up here instead of Bosque Farms so to each his own taste I suppose but I have a bunch of family still down there and they seem to like it so I'm happy
@@patrickgragg5602 Meh i'm sure they don't miss you either good riddance.
@@rutbuck121 if I want to hear from the peanut gallery then I would have called on you, mr. Mark Jaramillo, you're obviously one of the reasons I left!
I’m from NYC and I love NM with all my heart. Each time I’ve been there, I liked it even more. It’s the perfect place to unwind and meet some lovely people
I live here in N.M. met a lot nice people from New York here this summer.
@Derrick Bridges Think its a lot cheaper out here, where I live there's a lot of horse barns and I think it's more affordable for them to board out here . Soon they start wearing all the cowboy stuff its funny to see
Maureen Gonzalez I’m from NY, born and raised all my life up until last year, I’ll take you to NYC!
That shot with the red mesa, the train, and the lone rusted folding chair in the field...perfect!
Greetings from Santa Fe, you won't find any snakes in the winter.
Plenty of snakes in santa fe
I was 'assigned' there for 4 months, and the only 2 words that I use are "Hated it"!
Adam has become absolutely brilliant at filming his vlogs. He’s a master.
Thank you
love New Mexico, White Sands is beautiful if you get the chance
I haven't been in New Mexico in over 20 years, but that feeling I was in a place where time stood still is very much with me.
Getting those closing shots of the train? Epic.
Well done.... I'm a 58 year old Irish man I've been lucky enough to have travelled and worked in Europe Africa and Asia.. This journey through small town US had me wanting to pack my travel bags again..
Take me with you!! I'm a widowed mom with two young boys and all they want is to go on road trips. I wish I could afford it.
Lindsay Nash so much for strong independent women. LOL.
I sure miss my Homeland of Encouragement, thank you for letting remind me how much I still love it.
LB HOPRSNFD *enchantment. Wow.
I grew up in New Mexico since I was a kid and this brings me so much memories, but now I live in another state in the city.
Sad to see this road trip almost over. I look forward to seeing you , in the morning. Thank you, Adam for this road trip.
Love the chair and the train passing by!
Nice videos. Thanks for showing where I live...much love to you. From Raton all the way through Albuquerque then west through the Navajo Nation then toward a Grants and ending on the Laguna reservation. One thing you will always see in NM is an amazing sunset. It never seems to disappoint.
I am of Cerrillos, born on Gold Mine Rd 35 years ago today during a huge snow storm. My parents were living in a tent while building their first home together after moving here from MA. I am a proud New Mexican and current resident of Santa Fe after living all over the Americas. I love our beautiful and unique state.
Coming back...permanently! #newmexicoluv
Lived off Rogersville for a couple of years with my newborn and husband on 30 acres. It was tough being out there with a baby but it was gorgeous and to this day my favorite home I have ever lived in
I think this was my favorite state yet! Very scenic!
Been loving this series. Continued safe travels, Adam!
I turn 65 tomorrow and I was born/early years raised in north eastern New Mexico. Thanks for bringing it all back - Wow
@TheDailyWoo The very last shot of the Moonrise has special meaning for New Mexico. Ansel Adams took the famous "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico" photograph in 1941 near the tiny township of Hernandez just North of Espanola along US highway 84. New Mexico has arguably the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the whole world and along with that moonrises and moonsets. Truly the Land of Enchantment!!!
New Mexico is gorgeous! 😍
Hey 👋
Sawyer In The Middle hey :)
Yay! I’m glad you came through New Mexico....my home!
Yup, Santa Fe!
I spend about one to two months in New Mexico every year. I’m always happy to leave New Mexico.
Lmao. Damn
Really enjoyed watching this 9 days roadtrip while in lock down over here in the Netherlands. Thanks for taking us along with you for 7 years already and especially for that eye candy in this vlog 12:51 ... really beautiful shot!
Adam, the animals in the distance are Prong-horn antelope. The only antelope native to North America. They roam free, jumping fences between ranches.
Antelope dont jump fences.
Yes they can jump. I sat in a John Deere Gator and watch 3 jump a barbed wire fence.
Thanks for filming this. I'm a New Mexican and love seeing parts of the state I've never been too.
@Derrick Bridges It depends on where you move too. It's quite a bit cheaper than NYC but idk about the whole state
@Derrick Bridges Most of NM is cheaper, incl. Albuquerque even. But Santa Fe (and other Ritzy 'discovered' spots) are expensive, or can be. Still less than NYC or LI.
@Derrick Bridges Thanks for sharing, your own way.
@@billiedewey9897 Avoid Santa Fe. Pricey. But nice to visit.
So glad you went to Las Vegas! I saw the Rawlins building in the video and was pleased it has been restored. They try to restore historical buildings whenever possible. It was about to fall down when I was there 3 years ago. They were trying to raise money for it, so happy they were successful! Thanks so much for your video!
Watching from New Mexico: "Hey, that's my house!"
Noice
Home sweet home! You didn't even get the pretty part of New Mexico! The land of Enchantment!
@@maryg2882 The slum neighborhoods of ABQ?
Bonzi Buddy Albuquerque is trash.
Continuing to be amazed, awed and mesmerized by the continuing saga. This one reflects my state..NM. Many historic and folky towns in NM!!!
Loving your videos. I like that you pulse for a minute so we can actually see what you are showing us. Some videos out there are so dynamic you can't see anything. Thank you for slowing down and letting us enjoy it with you.
I was watching on my TV but had to jump onto my phone to leave a comment.
I love the scene with the train passing by and the old rusted folding chair. Very classic New Mexico vibe. Super artistic. Well done.
its like time stood still, only the people are gone
We like people that think this...enjoy the view and just keep driving 👋🏼
Those are Pronghorn antelope you saw. I traveled through New Mexico in the 70's and got so far from civilization we couldn't even pick up an AM radio station. It was just dead air static.
That's crazy. I'm from California & I can listen to station's from New Mexico on am at night.
Yes. I lived in western NM (Zuni) and NE AZ (Navajo country in the 80's. Driving, I adapted to only listening to cassettes (then 1980's). Nothing on car radio but one Country station. On FM, in my house, with a tall antenna pole outside, I could sometimes get radio from Flagstaff, 150 miles away. Not much else, except a Country station. 1 TV station over air, KOB, NBC Albuquerque.
That's why I have had Sirius/XM radios in my cars and 1 in my music room.
Could be Oryx
The 70s were great. When I first fell in love with the southwest. Good times
Impressed that you were standing on the sidewalk wearing a T-shirt, I froze my ass off in New Mexico at this time of year once.
I've traveled through New Mexico Lordsburg Deming love the scenery.
Silver City is off the beaten path but worth it. You were almost there.
I live in deming
Great video, well done. I live in N.M. and appreciate the work you're doing thanks from the 505.
It’s a miles of emptiness here. But this make me feel I need this kind of road trip.
The emptiness as you call it ,has a beauty of its own. Don't you think?
Lots of empty space up north. Further south it's more condensed, hilly and even mountainous to the west. Silver City is glorious! As is Cloudcroft. We live in Truth or Consequences. South central New Mexico. Deming is a quaint little town of much color and charm. Las Cruses is fast becoming a virtual suburb of El Paso, Texas.
If you do take such a road trip make sure you have a good car or van that is very new or have it worked on by a mechanic you can trust. You don't want to have it break down in the middle of nowhere.
I love Adams epic Americana road trips across the beautiful USA I'm inspired to see my country this way also.🇺🇸
I keep thinking Courage the cowardly dog lives there somewhere.
😂🤣😂💀 LMAO
The show was based on somewhere in new mexico called the middle of nowhere I think and the story goes that an old couple where reporting sounds near there house than a couple days later they dissapeared with their dog
One dog town, and a one flea dog. We've got lots of those. Clint Eastwood gets lonely here.
I was waiting to hear, "there goes the monorail" while the train cut through the horizon, but quickly remembered no theme parks in this series. I'm loving it all! Safe travels.
Very sad this series is almost over
New Mexico is a mysterious and beautiful place. Love it.
He'll start another one soon.
That last shot with the train was perfect this is been a good trip
the spirit of hobo stobe
An old rusty chair in the desert with a big ol' orange butte in the background. What, a train with three engines and double-decker containers entering the screen from the right..!
I was born in Carlsbad, NM and lived there until I turned 13. My family then packed up and we moved to Albuquerque, NM. I remained here until I got married. Then we moved to Gallup, NM where our 3 children were raised for the majority of their kid lives into my oldest graduating from the high school there. I now am back in Albuquerque and never grow tired of its unique beauty and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. I enjoyed watching your video. 😊
Never been to New Mexico, but it is eerily quiet, yet peaceful! I loved this video and all the comments from folks who knew this beautiful state.
Love NM. grew up in Ruidoso as a kid. (Southern NM)
Ruidoso means noisy in Spanish.😁
Nice town. Just grabbed lunch up there at Pena’s Place last weekend. Always love walking the strip up there and buying lots of things I really don’t need.
Can't believe you stopped in Las Vegas.... it was great to see the old town again
This was a delightful moment to just sit here and see places from my home state. I've been in Texas for about 2 years now and I still feel like I left home just yesterday... This was wonderful and I truly thank you for giving me a glimpse of home. 🙏
It is so great that in this country there are still areas that have not changed in 60 or 70 years. very peaceful and probably no crime or very little.
Love the seane with the chair and the train
Yeah..... How/Why the chair? I wonder...
Me too! It was awesome!!!!
Audrey Wood Yes, I agree. It’s absolutely breathtaking 🥰
I've photographed the same butte with the train going by in front of it, but there was no chair, and it does not look as good without the chair.
Wild Hogs! New Mexico is beautiful, and it reminds me of Red Dead Redemption and Breaking Bad lol
Wild Hogs. Madrid very funny movie!
And a nice little town as well! I drove thru a few years ago and met the woman who owns the "diner". It was actually built for the movie and was basically just a shell set type of structure. No infrastructure at all. She asked for them to leave it up & they did with her turning it into a working structure to be a gift shop. She owns the turquoise store next door and was very nice & hospitable; opening Maggie's Diner (it was closed) for me to see (and buy a bunch of stuff). We sat & chatted for a while too. Cool little town.
I love cross country vacations. I’ve been making them all of my life. We’ve been in every state including Alaska. My babies grew into adults taking these trips and received a hands on education in American History. In total, we spent weeks on reservations learning their cultures. We especially loved sitting out at nights by the fires hearing the elders recount the myths and legends of their tribes.
Hopefully, I will one day have grandchildren to take cross country. America is so diverse and so beautiful . Everyone should see America.
Excellent! Thank You for showcasing my homestate. You picked the great places to drive through. Madrid and Cerrillos can take you back into another time......
New Mexico wins the "coolest state flag" contest. (Arizona 2nd.) Change my mind.
I always thought people didn't like our flag...the more you know
it is a beautiful flag. my second favorite state flag. i'm fond of the tennessee flag. it just pleases the eye.
Maryland is a strong contender with NM for top stop.
@@wingsfan1450 Maryland flag is WAY ! too busy. i would place it dead last. looks like bad abstract art.
Warner Bauer I like Alaska's flag
New Mexico is an absolutely beautiful place an I encourage anyone that's thinking of it to take the trip. You won't be disappointed. It's one of the last unfound gems of the southwest.
AWESOME! I'm subscribed. Gonna watch and *like* em all! Thank you for posting!
