Albuquerque to Silver City

We drove through the Very Large Array Radio Telescope. This consists of 27 parabolic antennas in a Y array. Each antenna is 32’ across and weighs 230 tons.

In Dalit we saw this old church.

In the afternoon we drove in to the old mining town of Mogollon. In spite of being 9 miles in on a forest service road which is one lane for 5 of those 9 miles it seems to be coming back. Many ghost towns start to recover when people discover that there is very inexpensive housing to be had for little more than the cost of renovation. As a ghost town it was a bit disappointing but there were a few legitimately ghost town elements.

As we approached Silver City storm clouds gathered over the Mogollon Mountains.
