My Santa Fe Trail, Part 2

Between Snyder and Sweetwater there are a lot of windmills. You can't tell from a photo how big those are, either.

I couldn't take any pictures in the hilly parts because the road got windy and I kept both hands on the wheel.

Rain in the distance.

The Continental Divide. High point where the rain stops draining down to the Atlantic Ocean and starts going west to the Pacific instead.

More long, long road and then The Very Large Array. I was thrilled. I've always wanted to see it. Radio telescopes.

Ridge of mountains on the far side of the Basin.

Apache National Forest.

 Almost there.

This is Quemado.

And then at long last, I was there, and welcomed with home made pizzas

And banana pudding and big smiles.
