New Mexico - Springer to Clovis (56,39,469,209)

Howdy,
Heading home from Red River, NM, in two days and am planning to go a different route than in the past: Springer->Clovis NM via NM 56->39->469->209. Anybody traveled those roads recently? Headed to Lubbock, TX from Red River, and then home to Fredericksburg, TX. Was informed in the campground that route was poor about 3 years ago (road condition). Hopefully conditions have been improved.

Alternatively, if that route turns out to be still poor, how about hwy 56 from Springer, NM to Clayton, NM?

Thanks,

Mike
  • We ended up taking NM 412 and it was a fine road. Two lanes but well maintained and plenty of passing stretches.
  • We have traveled US-412 from Springer to Clayton every fall for the past four years and it has always been decent road. (Last rip was last October).
