New Mexico Drive

Chasing light across New Mexico.
Backroads, desert, and two Shelties running the show. #newmexico

Some roads take you a little farther than planned. The destination may be Arizona, but the journey will always be a New Mexico Drive.

One last glow over the Sonoran Desert near Tucson, Arizona. 🌵

Every once in a while its good to stand next to one of these big boys and wonder if they still need cable at the VLA #VeryLargeArray

A piece of New Mexico railroad history, still standing.

Once part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway's freight operations, this weathered old freight house sits quietly in San Antonio, New Mexico. The trains still pass nearby, but the loading doors have long since closed.

March in New Mexico. Desert below. Snow on the peaks. And about a hundred miles of reasons to keep driving.
