5. Google is your friend

Lincoln, NM is a village in Lincoln County, New Mexico, United States, located approximately 57 miles (92 km) west of Roswell (by road) and just south of the Lincoln National Forest. The town had a population of about 800 in 1888, and Main Street has been beautifully preserved by current residents. The community lies on U.S. Route 380.

Originally called Las Placitas del Rio Bonito by the Spanish families who settled it in the 1850s, the name of the community was changed to Lincoln when Lincoln County was created in 1869.

Lincoln was at the center of the Lincoln County War, 1876-1879, and is the historical home of Billy the Kid. The village holds an annual festival in August featuring an open-air enactment of The Last Escape of Billy the Kid.

6. We'd happily come to Lincoln...

...and stay at the Casa del Patron. It's a fabulous little town, a 'best kept secret' in more ways than one.

But probably Ruidoso would make more sense, since the only place to have a drink in Lincoln is at the tiny old hotel dining room which (last I looked) was open only at the owner's convenience, and the little storefront that sells ice cream and sodas and sandwiches.

But yep, hon... you wanna meetup, I'm up for it!

ABQ's easy for us.

interestedly,
Bright
