OK, you haven't been to Hobbs, have you? I think yuou'll find that Enchantment actually refers to the northern part of the state with a little bit saved back for the south-central mountains of Cloudcroft & Ruidoso. Hobbs lies in the armpit of Texas - the SE corner of NM. The Llano Estacado is the most featureless spot in America - according to Winkipedia. I believe it! Take Western Kansas, remove all productive vegetation, leave Dorothy & Toto there, bring the Wicked Witch and move it all south 500 miles. :-)
I lived in ABQ off of Tramway Blvd. and loved it. I'd go up the peak as often as I could. I really do miss it. And I have friends in Cloudcroft too. Talk about different worlds! So beautiful! I also love White Sands. That is one big fun sandbox to play in. One of my cousins was there at the AFB, when the stealth fighters were there.
