Stevenson recently arrived from Florida after a 2,200-mile journey on Saturday (June 14), but his trailer didn’t get to Taos until the following Tuesday (June 17). He said the trip across the southern part of the United States wasn’t too much trouble until he started heading across Texas.

“When I got to the other side of San Antonio, what they call hill country, that’s when things got bad,” he said. “It was just killing my little truck.”

Once he hit southern New Mexico, where “the hills turned into mountains,” Stevenson — a former police chief — said it was too much for his Chevy S-10 and he had to leave the trailer with the Socorro Police Department. A few days later, he returned with help from Branch and Taos school board member Arsenio Córdova, and Stevenson’s stuff finally joined him in his new home.
