Datil, NM and the Very Large Array

Heading to Datil, New Mexico we drive through the Valley of Fire. Lots of Lava rocks here. We stopped here to eat lunch.



Upon arriving at Datil, New Mexico at this great empty Bureau of Land Management area, it started to snow.


Snow flakes fell and after setting up we enjoyed a great rest. Datil is about 60 miles west of Socorro. The next day we took a great hike.


Jeff and the kids (Robbie & Jordyn) were sliding in the snow next to the pit toilets where we found an area they could use their sand dune discs.

The next day we drove back east about 15 miles to visit the Very Large Array. These satellites are for radio astronomy. It was an awesome sight!



Guess that is all for now,

See ya down the road!
