She's called Dragon Ridge because she resembles a sleeping dragon, especially from the east side and her spine is the ridge! They rise to 7,295 feet at Florida Peak with sunny blue skies above! I've watch many sunset over the Florida Mountains and it is spectacular!

To the N and NE are the Good Sight Mountains and the Organ Mountains!

The area is often referred to as "off Frankling Road". It’s about a 20 minute drive drive back to town with crops and farms along the way.

A little treat a few miles to the west is the Adobe Deli off the Lewis Flats Road. I had lunch there several times. It's a quirky place with lots to look at and delicious food, but don't be in a hurry! It's a cute drive along graveled roads with crops and farm machinery along the way. One afternoon I stopped and picked a piece - think it's onion growing!

Sometimes when I visit Deming it is dry and brown and other times this place comes to life after the rains! A few times now I have been so surprised to see the green crops and a few times bright orange pumpkin patches – amazing what the desert can grow when you add some water! Nice!

Many retirees and people with arthritis are drawn to this area because of the affordability of land and the dry arid climate with low humidity. The warm sunshine keeps the swelling and inflammation down and this is something that I can certainly relate to! I seen a few new RV parks popping up in the countryside here to accommodate the snowbirds.
I really enjoy Deming and have said many times it sure would be nice to have a place in Deming to hang out in the wintertime. I'm a country girl myself and love driving around looking at all the different parts of the valley here. It is so agricultural with fields of pumpkins, onions, nuts, cotton, onion, and John Deere tractors!

I spent several days here in late 2023 and the spring of 2024 and I spotted this little hot rod do a loop around his corral as his owner arrived home - too stinking cute! And I caught a rodeo at the fair grounds! To see more photos of my journey CLICK HERE!

Deming is a small town of about 15,000 and Luna County has a population of about 25,000. It’s about 1 hour W of Las Cruces, 3 hours E of Tucson and 1/2 hour N of the border of Mexico. Besides the low cost of living and affordable taxes, it offers a municipal airport, hospital/ambulance service, nursing home, senior citizens center, library, over 40 churches, the Rio Mimbres 18 hole golf course, civic center, public auditorium, plenty of shopping including Wal-Mart, newer schools and a community college.
The buzz in the spring of 2024 is that Harbor Freight is coming to town!

I think the Mexican restaurants are fabulous although a few of the red chilis here are too hot for this white girl but I keep going back its so delicious! And the coffee shop downtown has a delicious roast1

A big highlight added to the community in 2023 is Trees Lake aka Pitt Park, a 5-acre lake stocked by NM Game & Fish with bluegill, perch, and catfish. It’s a popular place with people fishing and walking around the path and a few hot rods cruising thru the parking lot! I sat and at lunch a few times here during my stays! Adjacent to the lake is the inflatable water park which sure looks fun!

A big shout out to the Quality Inn and their great staff and the Lizard Lounge there. It's the friendliest place to belly up to the bar for a quick bite while getting to know the locals and what's happening! I find out more stuff here than I need to know like Bill Evans Lake bragging rights! Ha! Bill Evans fishing lake is about 1.5 hours NW. It is the home of the biggest bass ever caught in New Mexico at 15 lbs 13 oz and was 26.5 long in 1995! It turns out Evans was an attorney at Phelps Dodge in the 1960's who helped acquire the land/water rights to build the reservoir located 300 feet above the Gila River.

Property Maps
Prior to visiting the property I suggest you study the maps and the satellite image as they tell the story on how to get there. Get a mental picture of how to get to a property from a main road. I frequently write notes on how I got to the property.
Print out the important maps like the parcel map, aerial photo with the GPS coords and street map. These are the maps I use myself if I was going to view the property. You can enter the latitude and longitude into Google or Bing maps by putting a comma between them.
I also suggest you bring a street dedicated GPS like a Garmin, not your phone. Do not rely on your GPS to take you the correct way as she'll take you down miles of roads that aren't the main drags. I've named mine Thelma and Louise because she's tried to drive me off a cliff a few times! If I could just get Brad Pitt to sit in the back seat! : )
Most of the properties I sell are down some kind of dirt road - my favs! Be smart and bring a shovel, water, food, blankets, mace, a dog and anything else you might need if you get stuck for a day or two. I've been stuck in the sand, a marsh, had tires blow out - you name it. Be prepared, be safe, and have fun. She's a beautiful Earth. We only get one shot here - get out there and see all she has to offer. Char the Explorer : )

I've started seeing quite a few snowbirds stay here and in 2018 I noticed two new RV parks on the west side of the Florida Mountains. Many also retire here because it's affordable. Besides the low cost of living and affordable taxes, it offers a municipal airport, hospital/ambulance service, nursing home, senior citizens center, library, over 40 churches, over 80 listed organizations, the Rio Mimbres Country Club, an 18 hole golf course, a civic center, public auditorium, schools and a community college.
Good timing seeing a man chip one to the hole in May 2018 at Rio Mimbres!

The elevation is approximately 4335 feet. It's a dry arid climate with low humidity and an average high temperature in July of 95*. That's quite a bit cooler than Tuscon at 100*, Phoenix at 106* and Yuma at 107*. People with arthritis are drawn here because it keeps the swelling and inflammation down and this is something that I can certainly relate to! The average rainfall is 9 inches. They receive occasional snowfall but it quickly melts. They are well known for their winters, offering plenty of sunshine and little rain to the snowbirds enjoying their RV's!
The Florida Mountains offers a spectacular background to these wide-open spaces. It is matched by its friendly hospitality. Click Here for more information about Rock Hound State Park, a favorite place for the locals. Rock hounders can hunt for quartz crystals, geodes, jasper, perlite, and many other minerals. You are allowed to take home up to 15 pounds! It also offers trails, unique geology, wildflower displays, and a peaceful campground.

In October 2015 I hiked into a canyon that was south of Cookes Peak and saw some fabulous petroglyphs in a cave!
A video I made of my journey to Luna County in October 2015. Buddy and I hiked into a canyon to see petroglyphs in a cave! Wow was that fabulous!
Cookes Canyon, a passage way thru the mountains, was part of the 3,000 mile historic southern mail route called the Butterfield Trail that began in Tennessee and ended in San Francisco. There are so many things to explore here, old abandoned mines and the famous Fort Cummings used in the 1800s to protect from Indian raids. Cookes Range Wilderness Study Area, petroglyphs at Massacre Peak and waterfalls at Black Rock Canyon are just a few things to see nearby. It's also home to the City of Rock State Park which I visited for my first time in July 2017!

Bill Evans Lake sits about 80 miles NW of Deming and is a favorite fishing spot to the locals. It is the home of the biggest bass ever caught in New Mexico at 15 lbs 13 oz and was 26.5" long in 1995!

In September 2017, the Fort Sill Apache Tribe was awarded an $800,000 grant from the federal government to help build a 3000 square foot convenience store and fuel station at its property in Akela about 20 miles E of Deming and 30 miles W of Las Cruces along Interstate 10. The tribe plans to pitch in additional revenue toward the project; the exact amount hasn’t been finalized, but it could range up to $1.5 million or more, according to a tribal official. The Fort Sill Apache Tribe are descendants of the Chiricahua Apache Tribe whose leaders include Cochise and Geronimo. I've visited the Chiricahua and Cochise Mountains - worth checking out and great American history!
In April 2023 the new Valero gas station at the Akela Flats exit along I-10.

Las Cruces, population 116,000, is a beautiful city and the county seat for Dona Ana and the 2nd largest city in New Mexico. In May 2024, Forbes Magazine listed Las Cruces as one of the best cities to retire in the USA! It sits 60 miles E of Deming and 40 miles N of of El Paso, Texas. I spent some time on their Economic Development website and see they have quite a bit planned for the future including renovating the Las Cruces airport for daily regional commercial flights and a commuter rail to El Paso. The federal government is the major employer with the nearby White Sands Test Facility and White Sands Missile Range. I’ve met several people who work for US Customs and commute daily from Las Cruces to the Columbus border crossing 35 miles south of Deming.
