As we climbed out of Socorro, as I looked into the hills by the roadside, I could not help to wonder which one of these fields was the one where C.K. Shepherd had an unexpected encounter with a bull. We rode up and up and up, soon reaching Magdalena. Since I had visited here in 2019, we did not linger for long and continued up and up, finally reaching the Plains of San Agustin whose notable feature, besides being a broad and flat place, is the Very Large Array of radio telescopes. It seems they have done some upgrades to the telescopes since 1919! |
