Brett Vaughn's Wild Adventures
YouTuber Brett Vaughn explores New Mexico’s wild places with his pack mules and video camera. A ROCKY INCLINE LEADING to a cloudless desert sky fills the screen. Then the video angle pans down to wilderness adventurer Brett Vaughn as he details his plans to climb the treacherous rock face with his mules and hounds. A retired owner of a corrosion engineering business, the 62-year-old Las Cruces resident has featured his New Mexico wilderness adventures, ghost-town trips, cave explorations, and treasure hunts on his Born 100 Years Too Late YouTube channel (with over 33,000 subscribers) for more than a decade. Vaughn drew inspiration from his father, who used to pack into the Pecos and Gila wilderness areas on horseback. “I heard all these stories,” Vaughn says. “It just fascinated me.” At 17, Vaughn convinced some Estancia High School friends to attempt a three-day horseback trip to fish the Pecos River. “There was a freak storm that came in—a big snowstorm,” he says. “It could have killed us. We barely got out of there. But that’s how I got started.”

Food Justice in NM & Woodstock Oral Histories
Originally aired April 12, 2024. Re-aired on July 19, 2024. This week on New Mexico in Focus, Our Land’s Laura Paskus sits down with a special roundtable to discuss all things food — why it costs so much, why so much of it gets thrown away and the social justice issues associated with access. Laura begins by asking the group why more than 100,000 tons of food is wasted each year in Albuquerque. Then, the roundtable discusses possible solutions to food waste, considering everything from smaller serving sizes at restaurants to composting expired produce at home. Laura steps back for the final segment and explores how food waste has taken a toll on our planet and how fixing that problem is essential in our attempt to address climate change.
