Now I'm even more jealous...
It may be you can once again get close to VLA - We got close back in...
um... 1985 I think it was... then when I drove back from points west in
2001 I couldn't get close... I was on 60 going right through Pietown..
and the VLA was, um, VFA... I had intended to do more photos of it.
Anyway, You're sure to get better information once you get to New Mexico.
Do check out Marfa, Texas on your way back.
I did 40 on the way west in 2002 as I had to get to San Diego fairly
quickly. In 2001, I avoided highways as much as possible but did that
southern route.
Ahve a GREAT trip!

Steve - since 2001, you can't get as close to the Very Large Array as
previously.. but a drive up route 60 toward Az is pretty neat anyway..
although it might be quite snowy...
John - after Bosque .. suggested route is to head south before going
east - and pass through Marfa, Texas. Maybe check out Big Bend NP -
perfect time of year for it.
BTy You can take a side road almost all the way to Las Cruces exiting
the Bosque for more birding ops.. the birds don't know where the
sanctuary ends :-)
I'm So jealous!
I'm heading west from Bosque. I've been working on the idea for this
trip for a while.
I know US-60 passes through the Very Large Array. Old Hwy 60 REALLY
passes right through it, but I don't know if that's accessible now.
Google Street View doesn't show any gates or keep out signs ... or more
accurately, I couldn't find gates or keep out signs in Street View.
I'd like to see the Grand Canyon again, and maybe I'll to go a little
farther west. I'm sort of thinking I-40 outbound, I-10/I-20 inbound.
I have some friends out west I want to visit with on this trip. One in
Mesa,AZ and one on the way home down near San Antonio, TX.
Other than that it's just a chance to see what's over yonder ways.
