The drive to New Mexico.

Traveling east to Albuquerque on one of my favorite roads in the country: route 60 from Springerville, Arizona. Needing an astronomy fix after leaving Kitt Peak, I stopped at the Very Large Array  in west-central New Mexico.  As wondrous as it was to see miles of radio telescopes listening to something far far away, I was only there for an hour or two, and  I couldn't help but miss the rhythm of my time at the observatory.  Nothing quite compares.
