Good road and you can buy some chile when you are passing through Hatch. Stop and eat at Sparkys on the corner (Hall and Franklin the two main drags) for a famous burger and/or BBQ. Or go on over to Deming and stop at Lot-a-Burger as you come into town on your right, there is a big empty dirt lot behind it to park in. The 5R travel Center on the left after turning onto US 180 at the edge of Deming is a good easy in/out fuel point. The Pic-Wik in Hatch is generally crowded as a fuel stop. The 5R in Deming has more room to maneuver.
