Ty's Take

Memorial Day weekend's shaping up to be what it always is around here—boats in the water and wallets getting lighter at the pump. SuperSplash opens this weekend, which means the families with younger kids will have somewhere to point their cash besides the marina, and that's fine; competition's good for everybody. But for anybody planning to actually be out on the lake the next few days, the fuel prices posted this morning ought to settle any debate about how far you're willing to venture from the dock. This is peak season pricing meeting peak season demand, and there's no way around it—you either budget for it or you stay close to home. Either way, the lake's going to be crowded, so pick your spot early and don't expect the quiet you might remember from June last year.

Las Cruces Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026
