Thanks for the factoids interesante per the coldest high North American desert 🌵
There’s nothing like the mystery and lore of first time seeing a place. Your 👀 were open and ready. Sounded a thrill.
Wonderful photos.
Though above mapped Carlsbad seems not quite in that desert designation, my visit to the Caverns there years ago brought on such eerie no man 🧍♂️ land vibes. They clocked me at 90mph plus in my rental car heading to Roswell 👽 later that morning.
I knew not the speed…….twas so vast, and something or someone else had taken over at the wheel. 🛞
Great memories, even the traffic ticket 🎫…
well earned. Your journey 🏍️ and experience brings me back to those visions.
Loved your commentary and reports. The photos were good too. Wished you had had a few more of the landscape. Dr. Alberto Garcia worked in this region in 1911, as a doctor for the miners at Minera Real de Las Azules, which was in a very remote area 25 miles west and southwest of Parral. He was 22 years old at the time and had brought his telescope and trigonometry book with him for stargazing and astrological calculations. The mine was owned by the family of the surrealist Edward James (who later transformed the town of Xilitla, SLP) along with some Texaco investors. I believe that after Francisco Madero's victory he rode the train from Ciudad Juarez through Chihuahua and Jimenez where he was greeted by crowds on his way to Mexico City.
This is all so interesting to learn. No matter my travels, it seems that there is always someone I know who has a story about the place, no matter how far or remote.
