Enjoyed the ride along video. It was exciting to see someone stopping and enjoying the sites of the southwest. Yes I have to agree..Arizona's landscape is gorgeous. I love Arizona, heat and all.🤣 Wishing you safe travels
Candace and I are in North Carolina watching your trip, we started in Oklahoma to Texas to Louisiana to Mississippi to Alabama to Georgia to NC I think we passed each other 😄 Stayed in Margaritaville after watching your video, we loved it. Hope to run into y’all at a park we can do some cooking !! Safe Travels Kirk and Candace
The huge satellite dishes you are referring to are most likely the Very Large Array (VLA) located in Socorro, New Mexico. The VLA is a radio astronomy observatory consisting of 28 antennas arranged in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin12. The VLA is used to study astronomical objects such as black holes, pulsars, and quasars1. The dishes are used to receive radio waves from space and are capable of detecting signals from billions of light-years away1. The VLA is open to visitors every day until sunset. Visitors can walk along a self-guided tour trail that takes them to the base of the second dish. There’s also a “whisper gallery” made from two satellite dishes to demonstrate how they gather and amplify faint sound waves1.
Not sure when you are taking this trip but I hope you have a blast. I live just North of you in Lex NC and have taken many trips out west. It sounds like you are traveling like we did the first trip. We went from Lex. to just west of Nashville first day then to OK city the second. We were worn out from traveling. Will follow along on your trip to see if you stop somewhere we may want to see in the future
So on longer trips I usually keep 2, 5 gallon cans of diesel in the bed of my truck. The main reason is because our rig is big enough that we are not able to get in and out of most gas stations and usually go to truck stops to fill up. Gives us some peace of mind in case we get in a situation where there is not a truck stop close when we need it. So far we have not gotten onto a situation where we were in trouble. Out west I made a habit to stop and fill up before my tank got down to 1/4 full. There is definitely times where the truck stop and few and far between.
ThankU 4 sharing!🙏🏾😍
