Taos, NM

[CluelessHero]

I just recently passed through this wonderful town for the first time, and I recommend it for any travelers who are looking to go somewhere that doesn't frown upon travelers, or homeless.
It is a town right by a ton of mountains and it snows a lot during this time of year, it is also a ski resort town.
there is actually a group of people who stay there mostly during the summer and spring known as "the rainbow people", they are just a bunch of nomads and travelers who meet in this town to camp, have fun, and spread the peace. There are usually some 2,000 rainbow people in Taos during the summer and spring. And the gatherings are called "rainbow gatherings"
If you are near, this would be a good place for you, it is still a decent place to be even in the winter.

Is that the area somewhat by "The Mesa" as it's called, does that still exist?

not completely sure, the only thing i can think of is the town "la mesa" which is about 370 miles from Taos and is connected to it by the rio grande river.

Kidding aside, ya most of us are familiar with the rainbow family folks. It's a mixed bag, depending on who you run into.

Taos is awesome. That whole part of Northern NM is awesome, honestly. Earthships, a bunch of sustainable communities. I haven't been there in quite a while, but was seriously looking at buying land down there for a bit. Too expensive now. Santa Fe is pretty gentrified and weird now, but I would still recommend it. Lots of camping, and the RailRunner train gets you to and from Belen, which is a major train yard on the BNSF Transcon. Great little stop.
