[Leica] Interesting place in New Mexico

[Aram Langhans]

Bisti Badlands is just that.  A badlands.  Very interesting place that I will never get to see again.  We pulled into the lot on BLM land with the intention of spending the night in our little RV, and the wife said, in no uncertain terms, NO WAY.  So I was able to convince her to walk around a bit.  All the interesting formations are a ways up the wash.  We walked around for about an hour before she had had enough and we left for less desolate places.  I only discovered this one location, but if you are ever in the neighborhood of Farmington NM, you have to give it a try.

There are many, many more interesting formations in this area.  Requires a fair amount of easy walking.   GPS coordinates are available for many of them.  If you get there, share your photos as I will not get to photograph them again.

Comments welcome.
