Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA)
Whenever we make the long, tedious, mind numbing drive between Texas and Idaho we always look for something to break the monotony. We read about Kelly Ghost Town and decided to check it out. It's about 4 miles off the main road in Magdalena. We arrived in late afternoon and didn't have a lot of time there. There really isn't a lot to see other than some mine related building. We walked around for a bit but it was bone chilling cold with the wind so we piled into the car and headed west. We passed something called the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) - that was cool. It's a bunch of large radio telescopes out in the middle of nowhere. I think they have a visitors center but it was closed by the time we passed by. Next up was a windmill collection and Pie Town (seriously). It was a pleasant drive but I'm not sure we would recommend it as a vacation destination.
I took these photos in late November 2017.
