New Mexico scenic driving in 4K, state highway 52 from near Winston to the Very Large Array VLA radio telescope near Datil, one of the least trafficked state roads in the United States. woofthebeatenpath.com/driving...
And this is why I'm about to buy 140 acres in this part of the country. It's hard not to feel at piece when your surrounded with dark skies and open untouched land. This is elbow room!
I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched the film Contact over the years. The scene where Elly is laying on the hood of her car with the VLA right behind her as the signal from Vega arrives on her headphones. Thank you so much for posting this drive. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I got a flat on this road from a slow leak. I believe it was caused by driving in the Chloride mine site. Many small sharp stones at that location. I was lucky that I did get some assistance in swaping out the tire two people who were going camping in the national forest.
No WalMart no 7-11 no Dollar Store takes a very very special type women to live on that stretch of road! Can you imagine BLM road maintenance working this stretch of road,,,,,,,must bring home away from home with you! I deer hunted Miller Flats near Weed N M (Billy the Kid territory) roads were like this!
