NOTE: If you do not know where Silver City NEW MEXICO is, look it up! We are going to do everything we can to facilitate travel, we've got some great ideas already to try to coordinate some shuttles, but please realize that the closest major airport is El Paso - 2 1/2 hours away. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! We're going to make travel work. But please know that we are a little off the beaten path. But it is totally worth it!
