Me and the wife have been thinking about moving to the Angel Fire or Eagle Nest, New Mexico area since we first took a trip there back in 2010. The biggest problem we've had was that there are just not really any jobs up in the mountains around those areas. So now I'm working for a company that has offices all over and if I work hard over the next few years I can probably get a district manager position in the area. My wife is a mechanical engineer, Air Guard officer (engineering), and has an MBA so getting a job for her probably wouldn't be too hard. If nothing else she can "guard mooch" and take an AGR slot or something in the area until she can find a position somewhere.

So anyway I'm scouring the net trying to find a web forum for people who live in the area, and can't find one. We're looking for some folks who can tell us where the good schools are, nice areas to live etc. Anyone on here no of a forum or maybe just have lived there or know the area well?

Our plan right now is to buy something like a decent townhouse, condo, something like that in Northern Santa Fe. Then buy around 10 acres, probably around Eagle Nest, and build a 100 x 80 metal building, frame out part of it to be a house, and maybe even build my own indoor range . RIfle range looking at a mountain for the non-snowing seasons. Just head up on the weekends, holidays etc, it's only an hour and a half from Northern Santa Fe.


The gunlaws are pretty good and we love the mountains, the rusticness of the area, and cool/cold weather year round (it's like 72* there in June). Plus if the a problem arises, TEOTWAWKI happens, etc will be in an area of the country with lots of land, lots of fuel for fires in the winter, isolated and up in the moutains.

So anyone able to point me in the right direction as far as a website where I can talk to folks who know the area?
