Hi Nico:

Pity you were not caving when I was beating around Mexico in the 60's and 70's! 
 I have appreciated your posts.

The "rental property" is a large house zoned commercial a block  off the center 
of downtown Ruidoso.  That part is rented long-term and pays for the property 
and a bit more.

There is a junky old 3-room cabin behind the house that we lived in on weekends 
while working on ski patrol (both my wife and I and two kids).  All the time we 
lived in the Big Bend (Alpine, TX) it was a 7-hour drive to get there, and a 
time change that was a disadvantage on the return home.  We did not do too much 
caving in the winter.

So it's not quite like a motel or even a caver flop-house.

If you wanted to come up for a couple of months, we could figure out what the 
current situation is with the cabin (I have not been there for about 4 years - 
and I know it is empty and shut down, without heat, water, or power turned on). 
 We would have to turn it back on and chase out the pack rats.  I rented it for 
$250/month for the winter.  So it is probably not a value for you.  But thanks 
for the thought.

Well, perhaps you could tie it in with Fort Stanton cave!

The ski area does get a lot of folks from Mexico.  Between the wealthy 
teen-agers from Mexico City and the "indestructible" cowboys from Houston and 
Ft. Worth all learning to ski, I've LOTS of stories.

Despacio, por favor!  (Woops! Too late! Bring the toboggan.)

Dwight
