This is the Spider-Man movie we didn’t get, but definitely deserve. Spider-Man? Spider-woman? If this picture represents Spider-Man, well…..I’m confused…….9/10 would still be interested. The 1 missing is just in case my web slinger doesn’t work Madame Web is next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Had no idea there was a Bluit NM. Not surprised it's in the far Eastern part of the state, aka little Texas. The prevailing winds blow west to east because that part of the state sucks. Hahahaha 😂. Some NM Texas bashing humor. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once heard my uncle tell my sister in law that birds won't fly over the town she grew up in because there was nothing worth ****ting on. 😆 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked for state I had projects in just about every county. Kudos for finding something positive to say about that area. I didn't care for it. I'm wondering if your experience was recent enough to have encountered all the gas flares and nighttime truck traffic that go on in the Permian lately. I've found the area west of Socorro, Datil Quemado etc, to be the best skies in the state. You get zero light pollution and you gain some pretty good altitude. Course it gets windy there too, inescapable out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course it gets windy there too, inescapable out here. One of my standard scoping spots is just north of the VLA. Love that area. Surprisingly cold in winter...froze a cable or two out there. Even further west and a bit south you get to Cosmic Campground...insanely dark, tho not as elevated, and the state has put out concrete slabs at camp sites to set the scope up on. Also the flares are more concentrated to the South, and the truck traffic is only if you stay near a main thoroughfare...so not really a problem. The main problem is the constant damn natural gas smell. Edited November 15, 2023 by Jabbyrwock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful country and damn cold in the winter. Artesia east for a couple hundred miles pretty much has that terrible smell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
