Why haven't you bypassed apparently incompetent (in the least) and criminal local law enforcement and contacted the State Police? Further you dont need a security system or home internet to get that "proof." You could fairly easily use something like the below link.
I have lived in NM my entire life and this is certainly not normal for any area I have lived, though I do hear stories from some areas. This isn't you fault, but living like that isn't living at all. If your only option is to get out of the area, do so. An area like that will eventually wither and die anyways.
A dog. A shotgun to go with the pistol. A phone call to the state police or maybe a out of town attorney if you insist on staying to start building a case against the sheriffs office.
You can also lock the water spigot if you want to start making things harder on them.
Reinforcing your doors could be a great investment in your safety and your sanity as well. Link below for that. I don’t necessarily recommend or know that specific brand mentioned in the video. Could be great. But just wanted to show an example of what you’re looking for.

The New Mexican front range has the second highest incidence of thunderstorms in the USA behind only Florida. In fact, Cimarron, NM has the highest rate of lightening strikes at an estimated 110 per year.

[NM doesn't rank on any of the tep ten city lists for bad weather because NM doesn't have any places that meet the criteria of "city".]
The lack of oven is a problem....here are a couple choices:
1) Microwave Green chile cornbread: Here is a recipe for microwave cornbread, just add green chile. Sprinkle a little garlic powder to taste.
2) Hotplate Green Chile cheese "burger." Just use a portabella mushroom that was marinated in soy sauce, garlic, and green onion for 8-12 hours.
3) Green chile, potato, and cheese burritos. For the french feel, add a little butter to the green chile.
I am planning on a trip there next weekend so I have been monitoring Instagram and Alltrails for any reports/conditions.
There are 2 posts on Alltrails from 6/9 and 6/11 saying they were able to reach the summit with no problems, still some snow. At the time of their trips it sounds like the snow between the summit and Lake Katherine was still pretty deep.

Weather has been warm and sunny most everyday since so it should be improved.
If you wouldn't mind updating this after your trip that would be awesome.
Well, the only place you'll find city life in New Mexico is Albuquerque. The weather is generally very agreeable most of the year. There'll be a few weeks above 100°F in the daytime, but the evenings are always pleasant in the summer, and the days always pleasant most of the rest of the year.
Santa Fe is nowhere near Holloman AFB/Alamogordo and it is in the mountains while Alamogordo is in the desert. You may be thinking of Albuquerque/Kirkland AFB. It's closer to Santa Fe in Northern NM. From Holloman AFB you won't be driving anywhere near Santa Fe. Alamogordo is at the base of some mountains but it still has closer to a desert climate. It sits at about 4,300ft elevation. Relatively low humidity throughout the year. It'll get chili in winter but probably somewhat warmer than winters in Indiana. The humidity gets to maybe 50-60% in the warmest summer months.

Even while I was still in Taos, I was eating this brand. It’s excellent. You can even order powder off of amazon.
I see, well here are some listings that may be of some relevance, given your parameters. Monsanto has a position in LC, and there are jobs involving equipment operation/maintenance on the next page. Hope this helps!
Thanks for posting this. We are planning on doing this trail: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/new-mexico/rio-santa-barbara-middle-fork-east-fork-and-west-fork-trail-loop
From what I can tell, this area shouldn't be closed, right?
The book “Scenic Driving New Mexico” is an excellent resource! https://www.amazon.com/Scenic-Driving-Mexico-Laurence-Parent/dp/0762760443
I would recommend Warren A. Beck's "New Mexico: A History of Four Centuries" from 1960 as a great primer. The language can be a bit dated, but it gives a great overview of the major events up to that point, including New Mexico's participation in the Civil War.

Alamogordo is about the closest you can get to White Sands for a weather station. It isn't too bad for someone coming from the "Great White North", and it will obviously be warmer at the end of Feb - bookmark that website and you can keep an eye on it for your trip.
LOLOL. Yeah, because a changing climate has never caused a civilization to be wiped out.
Go read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Collapse-Societies-Choose-Succeed-Revised-ebook/dp/B004H0M8EA/.
Don't spout about shit you don't know anything about.
Try watching this instead, the show can be overly dramatic for sure The Hunt For The Skinwalker Also, this book was very interesting: Skinwalkers at the Pentagon
Charles Kennedy is pretty interesting. Since you live in Santa Fe you probably know about the stairs. One of the old locals here in Raton wrote a book of stories from the surrounding area before he died that is pretty fun.
It is expensive to check them and the clerk said they wouldn't do it unless they give them a good reason. conspiracy theories about a dead dictator apparantly aren't good enough of a reason.
Fairly certain that the long term play is to get any officials that don't play ball to quit and then replace voting officials with more party friendly ones.
It is all in the playbook, you can buy it here so you can see what is coming: https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fall-Third-Reich-History/dp/1451651686
Not precisely the area you're looking for but Tularosa: Last Frontier of the West written in 1960 covers the Tularosa Basin east of Deming.

Texans tried to take over New Mexico more than a few times, as well as trying to divert the Santa Fe trade toward Texas rather than Santa Fe. Most books contain information about so called Texas-Santa Fe expedition. This group got lost on the Llano and then the Comanches stole their supplies and horses. It wasn't too wise to every try to cross land the Comanche considered territory. They were wondering around in circles until the New Mexicans found them. In most Texas history books these folks are called heroes and exaggerate the ill treatment of the invaders. They talk about the long horrible journey to Mexico they were forced to make. Well, hey, walking between Mexico City and Santa Fe was just about everyone before them made their way between the two cities, including the earliest of European settlers. A good book about the truth about the truth of Texas History is <em>Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth</em> by Chris Tomlinson. There is also a comic book by Jack Jackson called C*omanche Moon* that tells about how bloody the Texas history was.
Other than Carlito Springs (currently closed) there isn't a huge selection. The Manzano's have a couple of places which might be better.
That said, I don't know how much water is there right now, but this little area is nice. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-mexico/travertine-falls
Someone started r/NewMexicoTrails a while ago. It's not super active, but may be a good place to look/post. Otherwise, I would suggest Lake Katherine, but give it a few weeks to melt off.
Highly suggest this spot on AirBnb about 30 min outside of Santa Fe. Stayed here last year to get off the grid. The owner build everything himself. There are a few other casitas on the property, but nothing within view. It even has wifi & power - but easily turned off by the flick of a switch.
Flea in the dark by Devon Stevens!
It's a fantasy novel about two sisters and the supernatural. It's set in Albuquerque and it's very very good.
My girlfriend uses All Trails' app to find good routes and to track her hikes.
Tent Rocks isn't terribly far from Santa Fe and is a great hike. Google says it's a 3.1 mile hike and that matches my memories of it.
>And lame.
How so? My assessment filled with actual facts instead of should've and could've doesn't fit in with your preconceived notion?
>Public transportation done right saves money long term.
Only in metropolitan areas which are built around it, like Tokyo, New York, Chicago, etc..
>Things may have been mismanaged, fine, so let's do away with everything?
Things aren't going to get better. Even with perfect management, you're not going to get past a $17+ million budget shortfall which only supports a relatively small portion of the population.
>The population density of Albuquerque isn't high enough to warrant having public transportation? This is what you're telling me?
The population of the central corridor isn't enough to warrant the rail runner.
>And ok, the railrunner doesn't have enough stops in your opinion.
One of the many reasons I listed why it's a failure.
>Certainly a reason to can the program as opposed to expanding it.
As I posted earlier in the thread, adding stops increases the yearly budget costs for the program.
>Bah, or just get off your high horse
Numbers and facts are a high horse?
>take the railrunner to downtown, and ride the bus to the airport. Oh noes! Not the bus. That's for peons.
Your words, not mine.
People find it cumbersome. I'd imagine that concept becomes even more poignant when it's cold, hot, rainy, dusty, or busy with traffic...so you know, year around. It's just another reason people avoid using it, which lowers ridership, which lowers revenue.
Read the Serge A. Storms series by Tim Dorsey. Chock full of amazing Florida history. Weird, cool stuff. Plus, great books.
Its a very specific subject, but its a really good book.

Hatch Chile is Anaheim Chile, I just know most grocery stores market them as anaheim. When they're dried out they're just "red chile".
Barker's HOT Red Chili Pods From Hatch, New Mexico - 16 Oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S74JW28/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5VTXZJGEM5NGYZR7DW3W
That Chile is a really good one. It's a little expensive online as opposed to in store but worth mentioning. They have different heat varieties, I use extra hot. But, to each their own, it has a nice deep flavor.
