Thank you for the tips & welcoming me! :)

Oh my! That is very high!! The elevation is 2,612 ft (796m). It's one of the highest in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains. I moved to a lower elevation. I really couldn't tell a difference at first. After a while of not living there however, when I travel back I can tell a huge difference in the elevation. My ears pop several times while traveling over the mountain (whereas they only popped once when I lived there). I don't feel right until I get back to Chilhowie. Inside my head (it feels like I am in a muffled box)!

I have never been to New Mexico, but I've seen pictures and videos. It's beautiful!

Pleasure meeting you as well, and I certainly don't mind you following me! Again, thanks for the tips. They will be very helpful to me. :)
