FAYWOOD HOT SPRINGS NEW MEXICO
In today's video we will be visiting Faywood Hot Springs New Mexico.
Faywood Hot Springs is a resort in Grant County, New Mexico, United States. It is located 2 miles northeast of US 180 and .5 miles west of NM 61, just south of the City of Rocks State Park. The hot springs have been visited since the time of the Mimbres culture. It was a successful resort in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In 1952, the establishment was demolished and became a ghost town. The land was purchased in 1993 and developed into a hot springs resort again.

Faywood Hot Springs is on the same road that goes to City Of Rocks State Park (follow signs to City Of Rocks and we are located on the same road a mile or so before).
HISTORY: Near the corner of southwestern New Mexico -- midway between Silver City and Deming -- is Faywood Hot Springs, a natural geothermal high desert oasis. For centuries, this special place has lured many to its seductive, healing waters. Prehistoric peoples, Spanish explorers, weary westward travelers, soldiers, miners, health-seekers, a professional baseball team, and a multitude of everyday visitors from around the globe have found respite at the springs.
The hot water flows from an opening in the top of a distinct mound of material known as tufa. The tufa dome was created over countless centuries from endless gallons of flowing mineral water deposited on the nearly flat desert floor. This unusual geologic phenomenon is a remnant of extremely violent episodes of volcanic activity occurring in this part of the world some 20 to 45 million years ago, in an era when the nearby City of Rocks State Park was formed.
Prehistoric peoples probably revered the hot springs as a sacred healing place. The presence of circular depressions or mortar holes in the tufa dome suggests early use of the springs by these nomadic hunter-gatherers. Pottery and other artifacts found in the vicinity attests that the villagers from the nearby Mimbres pueblos knew of these warm healing waters, as did the later Apaches. It was an ideal place to erase the winter chill before migrating to the mountains for the summer.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NM | Relaxing in Hot Springs
We slipped into the hot springs at Riverbend Hot Springs and a feeling of zen slipped over us. The serene music playing, the mountains in the distance, and the feeling of the naturally hot water on a cold winter day combined together for a feeling a pure bliss. Our time in New Mexico was short, but this was one of our favorite stops in the entire trip!
Truth or Consequences is best known for two things. The first is the naturally occurring hot springs, the other is the name. Originally known simply as Hot Springs, the name changed in 1950 to honor the famous NBC radio show of the same name.
There is more to Truth or Consequences than just the hot springs. While small, it's one of New Mexico's most charming towns. The downtown area has restaurants, shops, and a fantastic brewery. Everyone we met and talked to was very friendly and welcoming, which only made our visit even more enjoyable.
Truth or Consequences is the most popular in the colder months, as the demand for hot springs goes down as the weather gets warmer. Located about halfway between Albuquerque, NM and El Paso, TX, it's a popular getaway for those looking to get out of the city and into a more rural part of the state.

For Some Ranchers A Breed Of Cattle From The Past Offers A Sustainable Investment
With the recent drought in the West, ranchers may be forced to find more sustainable options. And some researchers are looking to a breed of cattle from the past to find the answers.
Jon and Susie Eickoff are used to working together and going home together. Jon says over three decades; they have only been apart a couple of times.
“Except for a business trip to Houston, Texas and a stint that I spent in the hospital for ten days, I can say that in thirty years those are the only times we have not been together,” says Jon Eickoff.
That stint in the hospital was due to a heart attack Jon suffered while being the CEO of a fast-paced successful engineering services company that he managed with Susie. The couple say they decided just years afterward that it was time to leave the “pressure cooker” career and trade it in for a slower-paced ranching life near Faywood, New Mexico.
“Being out here in a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and around some nice docile animals, it’s a nice place to be,” said Jon Eickoff.
Those Animals are Criollo Cattle.
Susie Eickoff says while trying to decide on a cattle breed, they watched as ranching friends struggled during New Mexico’s recent drought.
“Friends of ours had a large cattle ranch and they were selling off their cattle because there was no grass for the cattle, there was no water for the cattle, it was very, very severe on them,” said Susie Eickoff.
The Eickoffs say they came across research being done on Criollo cattle at the USDA’s Jornada Experimental Range that showed this breed could adapt to the arid desert environment in Southwest New Mexico.
Susie says they read up on a lot of the studies being done on the Criollo before selecting this breed that has been in our region for hundreds of years.
“This is a sustainable animal. It requires less food, less supplementation, less water, all of those things that the British breeds require more of,” said Eickoff.
Susie says that once a rancher goes through the struggles of drought, it’s very difficult to go through it again.
“They can survive these droughts and you know, it will get us through the tough times,” said Eickoff.
Jon Eickoff says that they are lucky to have 141 acres of land with irrigable water.
“Water is a premium in this part of the country,” said Eickoff.
How much of a premium? Research published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Research Letters found one in 30 wells in the west is probably dry. The study by Stanford University and the University of California looked at data in 17 western states covering more than two million groundwater wells.
In Eastern New Mexico, there is concern in Curry and Roosevelt Counties about increased use of the Ogallala Aquifer.
Dr. Alex Rineheart, a hydrogeologist with the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources says he worries about the lack of recharge to the aquifer.
“Even if the drought reverses and we end up in wet period for a while, it’s not really going to change anything,” said Rineheart.
Rineheart says officials are looking into piping in water to the area as a solution.
As for a possible solution for ranchers facing drought, researchers at the USDA’s Jornada Experimental Range north of Las Cruces continue their work on the Criollo.
Alfredo Gonzalez, an animal scientist at the range drives out to check on a group of Criollo cattle on the range in a pasture that he says is around 6,000 acres.
Gonzalez is comparing how this group of Criollo compares to a group of Angus and Hereford crossbred to see how the cattle respond to the desert temperatures.
“They seem better adapted to the hot temperatures than the crossbreds,” said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez says not only does the Criollo thrive in the desert temperatures, but also by monitoring the cattle with GPS tracking collars, they found the breed can travel further from water.
“We’ve found that they go days more without water, again, they are responding by going out further and so they distribute a lot better than the Angus. So those are things that the researchers are continuing to collect data on the breed,” said Gonzalez.
That data also includes understanding the Criollo’s diet better. He says the breed is helping restore grasslands that have disappeared due to overgrazing in the state.
“So with them using these areas a lot better a lot more diverse plants, that their utilizing water in a better manner, I think this is good for the remediation of our grasslands,” said Gonzalez.
