[Leica] Stargazing two ways

[Jay Burleson]

If you haven't done it, Hwy 52 from the VLA down to T or C is a 
beautiful road.
All dirt in 1986, they may have paved some, but no problem with a 
passenger car. The whole way the only car I saw was the USPS van.

Enjoying your NM photos - brings back memories!
