Postcard - Greetings from Oklahoma

Still sorting things. I found a whole bunch of postcards I had no idea I had. Including this one:


It is postmarked on December, probably 1974 from Alamagordo, NM. The date can't really be read, but it has an 8 cent stamp on it, and according to this site, postcard postage stamps cost 8 cents in 1974.

On the back it reads:

"Picked this card up on the way down. It rained most of the way down... It was snowing when we got here that is up in the mountains to-day the sun is shining and it's nice out cool but nice. We will see you around the 15th. - Mom and J."

Eastern Oklahoma is actually as southwest as I have ever driven. I have never been to Alamagordo, NM.

Hmmm...well, all I can say is that the image there does not invoke within me a deep desire to rush to Oklahoma :-)

I agree with Laura B. I've lived in New Mexico and Arizona and I love the SouthWest.
