We often do short trips to Truth or Consequences, NM to soak in the hot springs there. It is also a nice town to walk about. It's trying very hard to be an artist colony, and although there are lots of things going on in the arts, it is still basically a village of desert rats: Perfect! 

Dennis at the Riverbend Hot Springs Resort. There were some other people around and the pandemic is back. But most of the time we were wandering alone.

Driftwood sculpture: Horse and Wagon.

Mural of T or C painted on the back wall of an empty building - in the alley.

Like many downtown businesses, the Giddy Up is only open 3 days a week - when tourists are in town.

Now this is important: Many of the sidewalks are marked as having been laid by the WPA in 1939. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was a Depression era public works program, like the CCC.

Wall art is scattered around town.

A BIG sunflower and bumblebee. 

And they even have Hummingbirds.
