Capitan
This was a town that we went to because it was close to other towns that we were visiting. It was small & Smokey the Bears hometown. We wouldn't have travelled so far just to go to Capitan but it was a cute town. While we were there, we went to the museum and to Smokeys grave site. It was nice.

Ruidoso
I went to this town a few different times and the last time that I went, I stayed for a week. It has been years, I don't have my scrapbook or photos around but just based on memory- I did enjoy this town. I'm not a winter person but decided that I would try snow skiing. It was horrible for me. I will post pics. later of me on the ground & afraid to get up. To make a long story short, it was my first time. I thought that I looked cute in my new snow clothes but I am not use to that weather anymore.
My husband didn't suggest that I take lessons, watch anyone, nothing... We get on the ski lift. Ice was forming on my face, it has never been so cold, I felt like we were on it for sooo long. When the time came for me to get off, I wasn't sure how, so I sat there. They backed it up I believe and told me to get off so I dove for the ground because I figured that I would fall anyway. I crawled out of the way, stood up and started sliding- very scary. I fell and was afraid to get up again because I was sure that I would break my leg if I fell on it a 2nd time. I crawled over to a spot by a tree and started thinking of the guys that at the time were missing on mt. Hood. I waited for my family to come rescue me. They didn't. I was sure that I would perish out there if I didn't make a move, so I crawled back up to the ski lift & ask them if they could take me down. They said no. I couldn't believe they were telling me no!! I sat on the rock for awhile longer about to cry, when I decided that since I couldn't ski down the slope, I would just have to take the skis off and walk it. I walked around the corner and there was the bottom. I guess I was on the baby learners slope. It sure didn't feel like that going up the ski lift. I can't imagine what would have happened to my face if I had gone higher. I will never ski again & there is no one on this planet that could invite me where I would accept.
I felt frozen despite my heavy cute clothes, so I go to the lounge area anticipating my hot chocolate. (That's what they do in the movies) They told me they didn't have any! I just wanted to leave because I already had my picture of me standing on the skis for that one moment I stood up. For anyone that likes skiing, they would probably love the place. Idk. We did go to a winter wonderland in Ruidoso and slid down the mountains on the tubes. That was more my style & I had a good time there!
I remember a buffett at a casino that I liked with a beautiful view. I could be off with this but I think it was the Inn of the mountain Gods there. That was fun.
The town had some cute shops and nice people. We stayed in a great condo that week but the time when we went before, we stayed at a campground that only had one restroom. I mean, not one that fits 10 people but one like in a house that fits one person at a time. Someone would go in there to shower, put on makeup, whatever & we would wait for sooo long. I'll have to add the name of the place later but other than that, it was nice. We had a cabin there by a river.
