🚗 Buckle up, buttercup — we’re taking a wild ride through Southern New Mexico.

I’m bringing you 15 fun day trips from Las Cruces you probably haven’t done yet… plus a few local laws, quirks, and “wait, what?!” moments every local or future local should know.

We’re hitting up White Sands, hot springs, cliffside dwellings, ancient petroglyphs, and a few totally underrated spots that’ll make you fall in love with the desert all over again.

But I’m also spilling the tea on:
🔫 New Mexico gun laws and what to expect
🍷 Alcohol rules & Sunday sales drama (spoiler: not everything is open when you want it)
💸 Property tax exemptions you might be sleeping on
🐶 Dog ownership dos, don’ts, and surprises
💧 Watering your yard could actually get you a ticket (yes, really)
👶 Kid activities in Las Cruces... and why I think we deserve better

Whether you’ve lived here forever, just moved in, or are planning a visit — this is your unofficial, unfiltered guide to living it up in Las Cruces while actually knowing the rules.
