Truth or Consequences New Mexico

The sun sets on our time at Riverbend Hotsprings.  It has been a positive experience overall and we enjoyed the people we worked with and those that passed through visiting the Hot Springs.  If you look closely at the Mountain behind the tee pee you can see how it got the name Turtleback.

One visitor we had for a while was a Swan but he seems to have moved on now that the River is flowing again.

T or C is a small town with 2 main roads, one going into Town and the other looping back out of Town. 

They have a very nice Museum - Geronimo Springs Museum 

We got free entry into the Museum the day we visited because the log cabin was closed - oops someone forgot to close the door! 

They have an incredible collection of Mimbres Pottery 

As well as other Indian artifacts. 

The namesake - though he doesn't look too happy about it :) 

Outside there is a beautiful little park with fountains 

Though some of the town is run down trailer parks, people are discovering the town and its Mineral Hot springs and are cleaning it up and some of the architecture is really unique.  Like these fences 


Every morning we would walk to the Rotary Park on the Rio Grand River with Tucson 

Occasionally he would meet up with a furry friend 

or, sometimes a feathered one!

We'd follow the path up to the ridge where the trail overlooked the river and lead to a nice picnic pavilion. 

Only a couple days left to see the nearby sights!
Another bonus of staying still for a month - I finally finished the Screen Door!

Till Later!

Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n

Hi Melissa and Gary. My husband and I are considering working at Riverbend Hot Springs and would like to know about your experience. Please let us know - good and bad - your take on working there.

Thanks,
