Ruidoso flooding adventure
Short answer, we saw the property, and the drive to it, and decided it wasn’t a safe place for US, mostly due to a partially washed out access road and lots of mud and dirt over the roads as well as water running over the roads headed to the property. I’ve already gone back and forth with the owner. I got a partial refund, but to be clear, I briefly asked about refunds twice, and didn’t constantly badger about refunds. I didn’t decide to go elsewhere until I saw the property. I knew I could be out the cost. My wife and I, being in our late 60’s, decided it was more risk than we wanted. What happened after we cancelled was something else. As it turns out, it was smart, as a flood of water descended into town from the mountains. YouTube it. It worked out for best for us, though the owner thought we should contact him before we walked away. Don’t know why that mattered, because our safety was the most important thing to us. A couple things about the listing too. It said when we rented it that 4x4 or chains recommended for snow. It is a good idea to have at least all wheel drive for this cabin too. Also, a consideration also is to bring in some provisions when you first get there. We were in a restaurant next to the flooding as it happened. Bridges across several roads were closed, and many people had to wait in traffic just to get to their homes. Bottom line, it wasn’t for us. I’m sure I’ll get bad mouthed for this, but I won’t be bad mouthing anyone. Use your own judgment.
