Travel Advisory:

I am a big fan of the Southwest, but have never been to Rancho Tampico. But I would have to say, that bad enough living in a town of population 8, it's all the more worse to always be on the lookout for a CHUPACABRAS! I've long followed the myth/legend of the Chupacabra - it's Central America's equivalent to the Lochness monster in Scotland. As the name suggests - "goat sucker" - it's a hybrid vampire goat that plagues many a flock of sheep in the night and at the top of the Mexican farmer's least favourite things to happen list. Given that they look like this and unlike the Lochness monster, which remains unconfirmed, the Chupacapra is an animal that definitely exists, but is just especially endangered), I can't imagine that Rancho Tampico is really that much fun, having only 8 potentially interesting people to meet there, and the constant threat of running into a Chupacabra.
