Perhaps one of Peñasco’s best kept secrets for secluded beach destinations is the Tessoro Resort at Las Conchas. This high-end property, has endured the trying economy by carefully managing costs via local on-site management and the efforts of relatively few owners, who purchased units in the building just prior to the real estate downturn. The resort has persevered, and arguably remains as the most beautiful and secluded beach resort location in town.

In one of my previous stories I told of my friend the horse wrangler D.K. He had a job at one of the guest lodges on the outskirts of the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana. That is where I’m from in another life. Cold! Snow!...
