					  <description><![CDATA[As I drive, twisting through mountains and leaning around curves, having turned westward at Hatchita towards Animas on N.M. 9, which then leads to Rodeo and to Portal, Arizona, I bask in the warmth of an autumn day. I am taking a one-day vacation to leisurely revisit the sites of Old West tales in the boot heel of New Mexico. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Cotton and cowboys, cacti and copper, cavalry and coyotes, chile and coatimundi - and the Chiricahua Apaches. All these help characterize the most southwestern part of Hidalgo County, called the Bootheel of New Mexico, where you will find the small communities of Playas, Animas, and Cotton City. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Put on a cowboy hat, grab a miner&#8217;s pick, and get out your birder&#8217;s field glasses. You may have need of them when you explore the three neighboring villages on the border of Arizona and New Mexico&#8217;s boot heel - Road Forks, Rodeo, and Portal. As you travel east or west on Interstate 10, turn off at the Road Forks exit in New Mexico. It marks the I-10 junction with transcontinental Highway 80 and then continues on to Rodeo. Take time to visit Road Forks, settled by the G.H. Porters around 1925 and further developed by the late John Graham whose family still own and operate several businesses there. ]]></description>
