US Road Trip Day 12 - Truth or Consequences, Lake Valley and Hatch, New Mexico

Truth or Consequences used to be called Hot Springs but chanced its name after winning a radio competition in the 1950's

State count - 6
California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico
Now a Ghost Town, Lake Valley was a silver mining town and has produced 180 tonnes of silver and had its heyday at the end of the 19th century. The last resident left in 1994 and it is a pretty interesting place to take a walkM

Then onto Hatch for some pulled pork (for me) and fries for Michael
