No, but I'll quote from the third edition of their Southwest guide and
hope they don't kill me:

"Hobbs, 69 miles out of Carlsbad and 3 miles from the Texas state line
is the center of New Mexico's largest oil field. The town and the
hrizontal landscape of the surrounding Llano Estacado is punctuated
frequently by the seesaw-like pumpjacks or 'lufkins" stolidly forcing
oil to the surface. If you're a soaring enthusiast, Hobbs is worth a
visit...snip.....There isn't much other reason to visit Hobbs, but
there are several inexpensive motels....."

Says it all really - flat boring landscape, smelly oilwells, cheap
motels and, occasionally, fine soaring.
