As for Truth or Consequences: I have friends in that area who resent that long name and want it changed back to Hot Springs. Supposedly a lot of residents are sick of writing and typing "Truth or Consequences" all the time.
you are right New Mexico has some amazing scenery and incredibly interesting locales to discover.
Re: the locals resenting the name, I have heard some of that too, I doubt they change it back tho, but NOBODY in the region calls it Truth or Consequences..
we call it T or C
