If you are visiting from out of state: (or even far away in-state): and if you'll be in Albuquerque on a weeknight, I'd love to host a meet-n-greet for you! Try to let me know as far ahead of time as possible so an event can be published.
About this cache: It was difficult to choose a location for this cache; there is no one area that typifies the essence of the amazing state of New Mexico! From the Organ Mountains, White Sands, and the City of Rocks in southern NM, to the beautiful mountains, calderas, and geographic highlights of the north, with buttes, the Jornada del Muerto, mesas, hoodoos and tent rocks between, there is so much to see here for the outdoor enthusiast.
As with the geography, you'll find a range of cultures and history in New Mexico. There are ancient cultures from Anasazi to current Pueblo and a more recent tricultural heritage, including rural ranches and farms, sophisticated city life, and universities. New Mexico history runs from the prehistoric through early explorers, the Camino Real, Civil War sites, to present day cutting edge technology throughout the state.
We wound up placing the cache nearly smack dab in the center of the state, hoping you'd take the time to check out the rest of the state along the way...you may choose to follow the Camino Real and the Rio Grande River, which was our route to the cache (see pics). The Gran Quivera National Monument is just a few miles west of the cache, and definitely worth a stop!
Please post a photo of yourself with the cache, AND a favorite photo which typifies New Mexico in your mind, with your log. I originated the cache with some New Mexico items; it would be nice if NM cachers would leave these for out-of-staters and add additional New Mexico-type swag to the cache. Thanks! Can't wait to see your photos!
