Los Alamos

Los Alamos is one of those places you have to be patient with as a visitor. Give it a chance and you may be surprised.

If you ever happen to find yourself in Los Alamos, go to Ed Grothus’s “The Black Hole”. A fascinating junk shop of delights salvaged from the labs, which is growing by the year. Go soon, Ed wont be around forever! Check it out online: http://boozhoundlabs.com/grothus/

I just got back from visiting family in White Rock. My uncle and his oldest son work for Los Alamos labs and it’s a fascinating place. I got a peak into the labs themselves on this particular trip…something not many “civilians” get. I love visiting the Pueblos and there are views that are absolutely breathtaking.

Maybe not a prime vacation resort (!!!) but worth a few miles detour to Parc Bandelier. Breathtaking views over the Rio Grande.

What a hell hole. The only saving grace was the spectacular Anasazi cave dwellings located nearby.
