But Springer, just a bit further south, has a pretty nice municipal airport. Sort of underscores why road landings aren't all that common, freeways tend to have airports adjacent to them at pretty frequent intervals. In NM it's common enough for small airports to be immediately adjacent to the freeway with the runway parallel to it that people joke about mixing them up.
