Magdalena, New Mexico // 14 February
On our drive from Albuquerque to Elephant Butte we took a detour to see the Very Large Array. It was quite a drive but well worth it. The radio telescopes were impressive! Not as big as the one in Australia at Parks (which we saw a couple of years ago) but very impressive to see them all arranged in their array. We were lucky that the telescopes were in their close formation. When they are at the most spread out formation there is over a mile between each telescope. We had our picnic lunch and checked out the visitor center. It was super windy and very fresh so it was a brisk walk around to get some photos.
