New Mexico joined the Union on January 6, 1912 as the 47th State but has a long and colorful history that is beyond the scope of this little myspace page.
Mostly, NM is just a little backwater state that most people forget exists and that is just fine with me. If you come to NM, you can get all sorts of fun souvenirs such as Yersinia pestis, the Hantavirus, and any of the other little nasties that exist in this state. You can also get eaten by the various fauna that live here, and there are a lot of rocks to fall off of.
Our capitol is Santa Fe and our largest city is Albuquerque. People have all sorts of colorful nicknames for both of these towns and for our state in general, such as Fanta Se, Burque, and the Land of Entrapment.
NM also has a lot of sun (and melanoma if you forget your sunscreen), some oil, a few state universities, a bunch of mountains, and a smattering of lakes. There are numerous opportunities to have outdoor adventures in NM, and there is a much deeper culture here than I suspect most people realize.
