In 2026, U.S. Route 66—a more than 2,400-mile highway connecting Chicago to Santa Monica—will celebrate its centennial.

Only one active highway tunnel is in use in New Mexico: the Cloudcroft Tunnel on U.S. Highway 82. It is subject to blockage from rockslides and falling trees from time to time.

Forty students from around New Mexico traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Youth Tour.

As member-owners, you play a key role in the continued success of your cooperative. Being an active participant in your cooperative’s annual meeting is a great way to engage with the cooperative’s leadership and fellow members. You might even win a prize.

More than 300 attendees from New Mexico’s 15 electric cooperatives gathered May 13–15 at Isleta Resort & Casino for NMRECA’s 81st Annual Meeting.
