Gila National Forest New Mexico to Truth or Consequences New Mexico | RV Living
This week we drove through Gila National Forest in New Mexico all the way to Truth or Consequences New Mexico! It was such a random treat to drive through Gila National Forest and let Ellie see a small amount of snow for the first time! She thought it was delicious! Deborah drove our baby RV through huge mountains and some hairy situations like a champ, she is such a natural.
We made lots of stops along the way, Ellie got to see Percha Creek Bridge and she loved it so much she tried to stay ????! Order some of her favorite snack ????here:
When we finally made it to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico we found an amazing spot called Point Blanc Winery and Taproom and Bowling Alley and Arcade and Live Music, they seriously had everything! Michael kicked Deborah's butt at bowling and we ate delicious pizza and some tasty New Mexico craft beers. We played seriously 9 or 10 games of bowling because it was so cheap (1$! a game)!
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico was such a fun and random place to stop we had a blast there and highly suggest you check it out.
A little bit about Gila National Forest:
The Gila National Forest is a protected national forest in New Mexico in the southwestern part of the United States established in 1905. It covers approximately 2,710,659 acres (1,096,965 ha) of public land, making it the sixth largest National Forest in the continental United States. The Forest also manages that part of the Apache National Forest that is in New Mexico which totals an additional 614,202 acres for a total of 3.3 million acres managed by the Gila National Forest. Part of the forest, the Gila Wilderness, was established in 1924 as the first designated wilderness reservation by the U.S. federal government. Aldo Leopold Wilderness and the Blue Range Wilderness are also found within its borders. (The Blue Range Primitive Area lies within Arizona in the neighboring Apache National Forest.)
A little bit about Truth or Consequences, New Mexico:
Truth or Consequences is a city in and the county seat of Sierra County, New Mexico, United States. In 2012, the population was 6,411. It is commonly known within New Mexico as T or C. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.
The first bath in the area was built at John Cross Ranch over Geronimo Springs in the late 1800s. However, major settlement did not begin until the construction of Elephant Butte Dam and Reservoir in 1912; the dam was completed in 1916. Elephant Butte Dam was a part of the Rio Grande Project, an early large-scale irrigation effort authorized under the Reclamation Act of 1902. In 1916, the town was incorporated as Hot Springs. It became the Sierra County seat in 1937.
Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to Truth or Consequences, the title of a popular NBC Radio program. In March 1950, Ralph Edwards, the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences, announced that he would air the program on its 10th anniversary from the first town that renamed itself after the show; Hot Springs won the honor, officially changing its name on March 31, 1950 (the program broadcast from there the following evening, April 1). Edwards visited the town during the first weekend of May for the next 50 years. This event was called Fiesta and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year during the first weekend of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as the Hatch Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park.

Truth Or Consequences - Walking Man Revealed (March 6, 1948)
Truth or Consequences is an American quiz show originally hosted on NBC radio by Ralph Edwards (1940–1957) and later on television by Edwards (1950–1954), Jack Bailey (1954–1955), Bob Barker (1956–1975), Bob Hilton (1977–1978) and Larry Anderson (1987–1988). The television show ran on CBS, NBC and also in syndication. The premise of the show was to mix the original quiz element of game shows with wacky stunts.
The daily syndicated show was produced by Ralph Edwards Productions (later Ralph Edwards/Stu Billett Productions), in associated with and distributed by Metromedia Producers Corporation (1966–1978) and Lorimar-Telepictures (1987–1988). On the show, contestants received roughly two seconds to answer a trivia question correctly (usually an off the wall question that no one would be able to answer correctly, or a bad joke) before Beulah the Buzzer sounded (in the rare occasion that the contestant answered the question correctly before Beulah was heard.
The question inevitably had two or even three parts). If the contestant could not complete the Truth portion, there would be Consequences, usually a zany and embarrassing stunt. From the start, most contestants preferred to answer the question wrong in order to perform the stunt. Said Edwards, Most of the American people are darned good sports

Episode 1046 | Off The Cuff: New Mexico as a Publicity Stunt Backdrop
New Mexico is known for it's beautiful landscapes and scenic vistas. And occasionally our landscapes also become the backdrops for wacky celebrity photo shoots and publicity stunts.
Recently, actor Shia LaBeouf installed his anti-Trump performance art piece to the El Rey Theatre in downtown Albuquerque and then shut it down over safety issues. And as far back as 1950, NBC radio personality Ralph Edwards offered free publicity to any town willing to adopt his quiz show’s name in honor of its tenth anniversary. And so Hot Springs became Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. But the latest example is Brad Pitt's big GQ spread, featuring the actor in various unique poses at White Sands National Monument. The Line panelists offer up their thoughts on the article and other examples of this kind of occurrence.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
