    I haven't been there in many years, but I lived in the area long ago.
    One thing that is barely off-topic, but is a sight to behold, is the
    old Santa Rita copper mine - the El Chino mine, once. It's about 15
    miles from Silver city, east, in Hurley. It's one of the oldest
    copper mines in the world, and at one time it was the largest in the
    world, and yes, it was strip-mined. Putting aside any "green" issues
    for a time - it is the biggest blue/green hole in the ground you'll
    ever see. Quite a spectacle...
