Aye, it was kinda scary for a minute there. I loaded the bed of the truck with guitars, and the cab with gunz and left enough room for my go bag. By bedtime last night, I felt pretty secure, and by this afternoon I decided to unload the truck. I'm on the west side of town, and the evac order was for the east side. Of course I'm only 1 1/2 blocks from the arbitrary dividing line.
I built a two story outhouse on some remote property I sold last year. Upstairs was fresh water storage though, not the executive latrine. The crapper was built over a buried oil drum. I designed it to remove the seating area and burn the contents if it got objectionable. Turns out that poop dries out really quickly in the desert, so I never had to burn it.
I also had a travel trailer and an 8'X8' log shack out there. Plenty of warming opportunities. Once upon a time, I used to spend a lot of time out there. Then I moved farther away. I made some money on the sale, which is not always the way my deals work out.
If I thought there was a market for the last one in New Mexico, I'd try to sell it too. It's not worth the paperwork, though. Very near to this place: https://www.emnrd.nm.gov/spd/find-a-park/rockhoun…
Groundwater is easily reachable in NV, but it's at about 400 ft in NM. The folks that live there have cisterns and get water trucked in. Too much work. I'd take $250 for it, but the buyer pays all fees. Or I could just donate it to charity or let Luna County have it. I don't much care.

Coulda burned it to keep it warm in the winter.
No?

Was that down in Hidalgo?

Either of these have water?

Declare it a nature preserve.
The next republican preznit would want to build a wall on it. Maybe the state park would want to use it as a parking lot.
