So You Wanna Be a Clovis Cowboy (But Not Quite in Texas...) How Close Are We Talkin'?
Howdy, partner! Ever dreamt of wrangling tumbleweeds and two-stepping under the New Mexico sunset? Well, then Clovis might just be the place for you! But hold your horses (or should we say, roadrunners?) before you pack your ten-gallon hat and head out. There's a teensy detail to consider: just how close is Clovis to that there Texas border?
Hold Your Horses! Not Quite a Stone's Throw Away
Now, Clovis ain't exactly spitting distance from Texas. You won't be able to yodel from the town square and expect a Texan to yodel back (although, that would be one heck of a party trick). But fear not, adventurous soul! Clovis sits a mere 9 miles (or a 15-minute drive for those with a hankering for some high-speed yeehaw) from the border. That's practically next door in cowboy terms!
Why This Distance is the Sweet Spot
Here's the beauty of that 9-mile gap, folks:
- Close Enough for a Texas Two-Step: You can still get your fill of Tex-Mex cuisine, Friday night rodeos (well, maybe not exactly rodeos, but there's probably a good line-dancing scene!), and that undeniable Texas spirit.
- Far Enough for a New Mexico Nightscape: But Clovis lets you experience the magic of New Mexico too! Think stunning sunsets over mesas, quirky roadside attractions (have you ever seen a giant cow?), and a whole different flavor of the Southwest.
The Verdict: The Perfect Pitstop on Your Southwestern Sojourn
So, there you have it, pilgrims. Clovis is the ideal spot for those who crave a taste of Texas but also want to explore the wonders of New Mexico. Pack your boots, your adventurous spirit, and maybe a good hat for the sun (because let's be honest, New Mexico sunshine is no joke). Clovis awaits with open arms (and possibly a friendly game of horseshoes)!
