VLA

  Anyone know what the title means or stands for? Anyone watch the movie "Contact" starring Jodie Foster? How about X-files? We are listening...

 Well if you don't know by now, I might as well tell you: Very Large Array

 Here it is via Google Earth.

View from US 60

you should have figured out they are radio telescopes

listening to the cosmos

 It is south of US60 between Socorro and Datil New Mexico.In between the mountains is this grassy plain know as San Augustin, therein it sets. We were facing a long drive so did not go into visitor center.

 Crossed over the continental divide at 7789 feet between Datil and Pie Town. Guess it is all down hill to California from here.

  We are currently in Show Low Arizona, a very nice town in the White Mountains. This park, Fools Hollow state recreation area, is very nice. Here for three days to catch up on laundry and chill. Arizona does NOT recognize daylight savings time. So we went from CDST to MDST to MST, very confusing. 5pm in Texas is 4pm in New Mexico but 3pm in Arizona.Will go back to MDST when we enter Utah next week. At 6300 feet elevation here and the air is a little thin.
