Thanks for the welcome. It's amazing just how many people know about Cloudcroft. If you do get down this way I work at Daves Cafe in The PIne Stump Mall.
Doc, Santa Fe and Chama are way north of where I'm located, I'm only a couple of hours from El Paso TX.
As far as the cowboy wear, sorry, unlike most of the people here I'm not a fugitive from Texas I would rather do my own thing instead of trying to recreate a tiny mountain village(year round pop. 749 people) as a suburb of Dallas/Ft. Worth/Houston/El Paso/Midland/Odessa/San Antonio/Lubbock, etc. Note CLoudcroft is a popular vacation destination for many Texans wishing to escape the summer heat. Unfortunately a very, very, very, small percentage of them do nothing but complain about the lack of whatever they think has to be available for their convenience. Plus I enjoy scandalizing them at every opportunity. Haven't they seen a man in kilt without bagpipes?
