Creature Comforts in the Land of Enchantment
Retired zoologist and Roswell Daily Record contributor Ray Pawley and his artist wife Nedda live in Arabela New Mexico. They chose the Capitan Mountains setting for retirement citing cooler weather and wildlife, with power outages handled by a propane generator. The couple maintain a remote two-story house reached via a two-mile gravel drive and face 80 mph winds during west-ward storms.
