Can’t you see the actual detonation site for Project Trinity somewhere in NM?
Santa Fe was pretty, but the only thing I was interested in was leaving. Kinda like an up-scale Virginia City, which is an up-scale Tijuana, with is an up-scale shit-hole.
Saw nothing but artsy-fartsy crap and high prices.
Santa Fe art, at least last time I was out there, went way downhill. Downtown is still neat though.
If you like Mexican food you need to go to either Sadie’s or Los Cuates. Warning, Sadie’s food is hot. If you go to Los Cuates get the green chile cheese fries.
MMMMMM Green Chile Cheese Fries…
The tram is neat and this time of year there probably isn’t too long of a wait to get up.

It takes a couple hours to get to from Albuquerque and the public is only allowed two days a year (first Saturday in April or October). It’s on White Sands Missile Range and honestly, there ain’t much to see.
If one happens to be in that area, the N.M. Museum of Space History in Alamogordo is worth visiting. There is also a nice small zoo in the city.
New Mexico has a lot more interesting things in it than people might think, even though, regrettably, they’ve made it very difficult to steal Billy the Kid’s gravestone.
I did not know that Alamogordo had a zoo. If I had, I would have made a trip out that way when I was living in Las Cruces. Well, maybe the next time I go to visit my parents.
