Idea for 2026 New Mexico travel messaging...
There are lots of free/cheap things to see & do, in pretty/peaceful environments, often with no cell phone signal, power lines, or humans.
International travel is toast + domestic travel declines dramatically if we are broke & society is a hot mess.

The bells of the Basilica of San Albino in Mesilla: The first, small copper bell was cast in 1876. Two larger bells were cast in 1886. The final, and largest, was cast in 1887. The church assigned “godparents” to care for them, an honor passed through generations of the same family.

Madrid was founded as a coal mining town, sitting on a 30-mile bed of anthracite coal. After the mines closed, it became a ghost town, until artists brought it back in the 70s and 80s. Located on the scenic Turquoise Trail between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
