May 9th 2012. Dust in the air, Long Horn Cattle, Horses, the smell of Bar-B-Que, boots, chaps, Hats, spurs, campfires, Cowboys with guitars. Wait I did say 2012 Right. Yes I did. What we have is a Cattle Drive. For the first night of many, some lucky folks get to experience sleeping out in this big ole world with 100 longhorn cattle roaming around them, horses and well bugs. For three nights these people will have the experience of a life time. The Centennial Cattle Drive.

The sun rises above the vast expansion of desert. Today is a very special day for this stretch of land. Today is the day this becomes the 47th state of the United states. January 6, 1912.
How quickly a century rolls by.
Now it is 2012 and the sun rises over a vast expansion of desert once again. Although there are homes, businesses and Lots of people, this is still essentially the Land of Enchantment it was 100 years ago. Dreams of those that were on hand 100 years ago, have been realized and new dreams exist. Families continue grow and thrive. Children laugh and play under the warm New Mexico Sun.
100 years old and still a beautiful, thriving state.
We have a rich history that includes colorful characters and world changing events that remind us of the diversity of not only our state but the world. Our future is just as bright. Plans to continue making world news and I am sure more colorful characters, but that is part of who we are. New Mexicans one and all. Happy Birthday New Mexico
