When I visited Las Vegas, NM, I was astonished to see “Absaroka County Sheriffs Office” on Google maps while looking up restaurants. That’s how I learned Walt’s office was actually in NM!
I almost bought a ranch outside Las Vegas NM about 15 years ago. I got close—put down earnest money and the whole 9 yards. In the end I decided it was too much work to renovate—hence the somewhat affordable price.
I settled on Texas Hill Country instead. Love that area—drove Denver to Phoenix through there for 25 years.
This was great, Jan! We just started watching Season 1 and it's so neat to see your pictures and descriptions in this post of what we're watching. Thanks!!! Las Vegas, NM looks like a very cool town.

I’ll be chronicling my time in NM on my Substack sometime next winter. I did photography every weekend while I was there.
Looking forward to seeing your photos.
I lived and worked in SF for half a year in 2015. IIRC, Breaking Bad had wrapped the year before.
My next door neighbor at the RV park worked at the Longmire set. It was the first time I’d heard of the show.
I’ve never seen it. I did watch one season of Bad after I left.
We loved Longmire. I had no idea it was filmed in New Mexico!
I've got the whole series and I know that area of New Mexico real well- it's gods country for sure.
I’ll have to check out the series! Thank you for sharing.
And I did get to see a partial eclipse. About 70% on Hilton Head Island, SC. It was so awesome!

Looks like a lot of great stuff to visit there!
