There is a online forum in which people who are current land owners can talk and ask questions about the property. One such comment that caught mt attention was this one:
“I'm posting this for those of you who bought your property like I did, sight unseen. I just took a trip down to the subdivision and explored the surrounding area. I found it to be better than I expected. The area is absolutely beautiful. I think you'll all be happy that you bought there. The El Morro National Monument was fascinating. I could spend many hours exploring there. We loved reading the inscriptions. We also found the people in the area to be extremely friendly and hospitable. There is a nice little Cabins and Restaurant close by that I recommend. Its called the Ancient Way Lodge and Restaurant. Nothing fancy, but nice. We also visited the Zuni Reservation and found that very interesting. All in all I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place.”
