My Hometown, Farmington, New Mexico
I was born and grew up in one of the most beautiful places on earth, a little town called Farmington, and I am going to tell you three reasons why it is such a beautiful place. First of all, I like small towns, and Farmington only had about 20,000 people living there when I was born in 1951. It was larger than a village and smaller than a city. It was about a 200 mile drive to the nearest city, Albuquerque, which is the largest city in New Mexico. Second, I like the location and geography of Farmington. It is located at high altitude on the dessert, near mountains. Because it is on a high dessert, it is hot in the summer, but not humid. It always got cold at night because of the altitude, even in the summer. You could drive 50 miles north to Colorado and find tall mountains to hike in and ski in the winter. Finally, Farmington is located about 25 miles from the four-corners. That is the only place in the U.S. where four states come together. If you look on a map, you can see that those states are New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. You can go to the Four-Corners monument and stand in two states and put a hand in the other two states. To sum up, Farmington was a fantastic place to grow up and to visit now for all of these reasons and more. I hope you have a chance to visit Farmington, New Mexico someday.
