Some folks in
Columbus, New Mexico, call
NM Highway 9, "our private highway." This is because
there's so little traffic, local or otherwise, on this pleasantly efficient path to El Paso, Texas.

Although the scenic views of Highway 9 aren't the most tantalizing that New Mexico has to offer, they aren't entirely without interest.

I didn't see much traffic when I drove east on a Sunday morning from Columbus to Santa Teresa Port of Entry. The most notable vehicular event was the passage of a caravan of Camaros or Mustangs or something like that, likely members of an auto club out for a day's excursion.
