Basically New Mexico is a spaceship. It's like a spaceship landed.

''As a single female, [[User:Jnadz|Jnadz]] only waited about 20 minutes for a ride out of Albuquerque, posted at the last exit on the freeway heading east. Turned down a couple trucks full of old creepers, but made it to Texas in two rides and just a few hours. Remember: it gets '''hot''' out there. ''
''New Mexico is one of the most varied states geographically. Mountains, lush grasslands, canyons, deserts, and ponderosa pine forests: all can be found in beautiful New Mexico. Temperatures vary greatly depending on the area you are in. Some places may give you a hard time for hitchhiking: just Just south of Artesia, a cop the sheriff told me he would arrest me for disorderly conduct if I kept holding my thumb out to traffic. I literally told him refused to go away stop hitchhiking and he never came back to bother me. Never had any trouble here beyond that. The people here are mostly welcoming. I have some especially fond memories of New Mexico.'' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] 21:49, 1 May 2012 (CEST)
''New Mexico is great, it's just cold in the winter. One time we were sleeping in this couple's house who offered to put us up (their idea, not ours) and in the middle of the night the dude came brandishing this long dagger saying get out or I'll kill you. I love New Mexico.'' Anonymous
