New Mexico Roads - Old US 85 - Truth or Consequences

Former US 85, Truth or Consequences



Just south of NM 51 on the old road.


SB through the heart of T or C, as it's affectionately known in these parts. Older readers may remember the radio quiz show of the same name, and T or C changed its name from Hot Springs in order to win the 10th anniversary broadcast. Ever since that broadcast, the town has held an annual fiesta on the first weekend in May, and the quiz show host attended every year for as long as he was able. These signs are not much younger than he was.

Continue south on old US 85 to NM 187
Continue north on old US 85 to NM 181

Onto I-25 and modern US 85
