... flowing to the Gulf of Mexico now) before I pulled up the Gee Whiz and checked the atlas again. It was at this point I bothered to check the map legend to see what the symbol next to the road from Pie Town to El Malpais denoted – oh, a dirt road – no wonder it was not marked!

So decision – backtrack 50+ miles or keep on going and say no more of my incompetence? The latter! I stayed on US60 ...

... podél silnice. Tady odbočujeme do městečka Magdalena, kde máme zamluvenej kemp. Protože přijíždíme docela brzo, kolem šesté, procházíme tuhle osadu. Podle informační cedule má mít přes 6000 obyvatel, ale podle vybydlených domů a zavřených obchodů nám není jasný, kde by asi žili. Tahle díra připomíná slumy z hororových filmů nebo ...

Took it easy today in New Mexico. I let the girls sleep late, and then we went in search of the internet to Socorro, about 20 miles away. It's pretty country here, and we're staying in a lovely Adobe home up in the hills.

I had to go back to the VLA to visit the gift shop as it was closed today, the day I'm writing this entry for, when I got there to do my tour. As I'm driving there I get the bright idea that another of the reasons I had to stop at the campground I'm at is because the owner of the property, sold last year, his ...

... came up. ...So, as I hauled myself out of bed, I told myself it would be worth it. Hastily getting dressed, we downed our tea, grabbed coats and quietly went to get into Toad. Unfortunately that is as far as we got - poor Toad had a puncture! It was with a mixture of disappointment, exasperation and yet relief that we snuggled down under the bedcovers once more.

... that specialises in high tech research - hydrology, astrophysics, anti terrorism technology to name but a few. But consider this; the average household income is just $23,000... not a lot is it?
