Why Thoreau people book an IV
The dry air
The air is dry all year. You lose water with every breath and every mile. Cracked lips and a dull headache are the first signs.
The road
I-40 runs past the front door. Truckers on long hauls. Families on the way to the Grand Canyon. Road trippers on Route 66 in its centennial year. A drip fixes a long day in the cab.
Chaco Canyon visitors
NM 371 runs north from Thoreau toward Crownpoint and Chaco Canyon. Many visitors stay along I-40 and drive up for the day. They come back dry and sunburned.
Bluewater Lake campers
Bluewater Lake State Park is a short drive east. Boats, fishing, and tents. Sun off the water all day. A Hydrate IV at the cabin that night sets up the next day.
School days
Thoreau High School and the families around it. Teachers, coaches, and bus drivers on long routes. A monthly Myers keeps them going.
