It is indeed a dry heat there - but anything over 100-105 still feels wicked hot, even when there is 20% humidity. To the point where you don't even sweat anymore cause it is so hot and dry the sweat evaporates from your body. It kind of feels like your lungs are getting roasted every time you take a breath LOL!
Seventh ring of hell - sounds about right Mark!
Come on up here to PA - we are about to get flooded and blown away by Ernesto. Can't win this summer. We are either roasting and humid or swimming to get our mail!
Where are they putting the Nascar track? I moved to a place in Florida that had a race track. I lasted maybe 3 months before moving, so it would be good to know if they have land purchased and where?
I think it really comes down to what you value. When I was in TC, I didn’t think of it as a bad place. The people I encountered there were friendly, they had a couple of decent restaurants, the mineral baths are a plus. The commercial area is a little ragged.
The way I look at it the positives are
Very affordable housing
Two large lakes (by NM standards) in the area
Mild winter weather, little or no snow, and lots of sunny days
the negatives for me
Crime seems high
Yes it’s a desert (this doesn’t bother me that much, I have lived in a desert before, but I do like some vegetation)
It’s pretty small there may not be a lot to do
I think TC has some potential with the water close by and mild winters (big draw for retired folks). They definitely need some quality development to come in, I’m not sure a NASCAR track would be the best move.
Hello All. I just had to stop in here for a bit since I've spent some time in TorC. My parents lived there after they retired. It's been 15 years since I've visited the area and I was sorry to hear how bad the crime has become. It used to be a peaceful place.
I did used to enjoy my rather long visits there. Yes it did get kind of hot but it did not seem as hot as many other desert cities. There was hardly any snow in winter and the daytime temperatures were okay.
Now I'm am getting to retirement age and I may consider moving there. At this point I just don't know where I'll end up but the warm dry weather sure sounds good to me.
Hello all, My first post here, but I've been lurking for a little while.....Have been considering a move to NM for some time. The TorC area seemed a natural for me because of the lakes. I manage yachts in southwest FL, so I kind of gravitate to areas where I'm likely to find boats.
Was wondering if any of you could speak to the type of marine industry in TorC. I know there is at least one marina, but are there boat dealers, brokers, boat maintenance outfits? Do they thrive, or are they more seasonal? Just trying to get a feel for small business opportunities in the area.
To be fair, I HATE heat. I couldn't live in the desert. The thermostat hits 80 degrees, and I'm ready to join a nudist colony in Nome.
That really cracked me up! I mean I actually let out a chuckle! (you know how you can "get a chuckle" but it's not vocal, or you can actually make some sort of chuckle like noise... )
80 is my limit too - for cold!!! Below 80 & I'm breaking out second layers & drinking hot chocolate!!!!!!! (Dead serious!) Hmmm - though it's 78 now & I'm actually nice & warm...Must be the THICK hiking socks I'm wearing! )
I am more like Mark S. I would be there in Nome, Alaska, naked and in the polar bear club skinny dipping in the nice cold water! T or C seems hot as habernaro peppers to me but some who are cold natured would probably like it.
Yachtcare, Morgan Marine is there in T or C, here is the address and phone number. They could answer you on your questions. I hope it is still there! I haven't been through there in over a year.

I drove through TorC yesterday and looked all around the town.TorC seems kinda weird, like one of those towns that you would see on the movies that mess with city folks.The town was dead at 6pm,like it was almost deserted.It seemed kinda like a cult town,does anyone have any info on this place.
