Hello everyone and thanks for watching my channel! This is a video from a trip to Cuervo, New Mexico as we were passing through the area. Cuervo, is a ghost town located on the eastern side of the state on the southern side of Interstate 40. There is no longer a post office or general store that we noticed as we were in town. There is however a number of abandoned houses, an old church, a stone schoolhouse, and several abandoned businesses. If you are in the area it is certainly worth a stop. I don't know too much about the history, if anyone who watches this has any information, please let us know in the comments! Also, if you visit Cuervo, please be respectful.
This past weekend we explored a large new mine near Ojo Caliente, I will be posting that within the next week! Thanks again for watching!

I've walked around Cuervo a few times. It is a fascinating place. I never remove or bother anything. This is a historical monument in my mind, plus I feel a spiritual connection to the past lives that were lived there.

@snakemanmike Thanks for watching! Agreed, we only take photos and leave nothing but footprints. I have similar thoughts on exploring areas where people lived and died in the past. As I walk through dilapidated structures I imagine the people, the triumphs and the tragedies. Tales from the past are highly fascinating. Thanks for the great comment!

Cool tour, thanks. The construction of the school building is impressive.

@dmanoutdoorlife 9 месяцев назад

@RationalTalk I agree! The old school is one of my favorites there. The last time I visited the schoolhouse was a number of years ago. In the past, there was still a chalkboard and other school items left behind. Thanks for watching and for the great comments!

The community's long-abandoned school building and church is undergoing restoration as of 2023

@dmanoutdoorlife 9 месяцев назад

@8309barbie I'm glad that the old schoolhouse will be utilized once again. It's sad to see these old structures lost to the ravages of time. Thanks for the comment!

We would pass threw there on vacation and my then husband would say we were going to retire there but a little building as you pass on the highway was found to have a serial killer’s stuff on the wall. I seen it on the news along time ago.

@THETASTERSTWINS Hey there! Thanks for the comment! Cuervo is definitely interesting to explore. I get lost in the mysteries surrounding ghost towns, old mines, abandoned things in general. I remember reading about the serial killer's graffiti on several of the dilapidated homes. I'm not sure that it was ever connected to actual crimes, but I may be wrong. I wouldn't mind restoring one of those old homes. Cuervo seems as though it would be a great place go fly under the radar. Thanks again for the comment! If you pass through again, it's worth a stop.

Oooh which serial killer?

@dmanoutdoorlife 9 месяцев назад

@8309barbie So, several years back, suspulicious grafitti appeared in several of the structures. It was believed that a serial killer was responsible for the cryptic messages. I never followed up with it though. I'm not sure if it was in fact ever truly linked with a known killer. It makes for an interesting story regardless. Thanks for the comment!

You need to get a metal detector! I find cool stuff in New Mexico all the time!

@dmanoutdoorlife 9 месяцев назад

@panchochris1823 Thanks for the comment! Yes, I agree! I definitely need a metal detector! Everytime we visit anything of interest I'm always wondering what could be found with a detector. Thanks for watching!

@panchochris1823 9 месяцев назад

If you do get into it make sure you get a Minelab. My wife uses a Vanquish 540 and I use a Equinox 800. I've found hundreds of silver coins over the past five years. Cuervo is tempting to detect, but it's a long drive from Rio Rancho.

Why not show the church and I know almost one family still lives there at end of town

@dmanoutdoorlife 9 месяцев назад

@lmbclm4 Thanks for the comment! The only reason we didn't see the church is because we were really short on time and couldn't get to it before dark. Also, the church was locked and had posted signage, so we respected it. There's actually two or three families that still live out there. We'll for sure be going back at some point.

So is this public land ?

@dmanoutdoorlife 9 месяцев назад

@johnsabatka2978 Thanks for the comment, I'm not entirely sure on the ownership. My guess is probably not, however I believe most of the owners of the land here are probably long deceased. I ran in to a local and he wasn't bothered by our presence.
