Today’s cloudless sky prompted a 10-hour road trip into the Sierra Blanca mountains. I climbed U.S. 70 out of Las Cruces, over a steep ridge, and across a broad valley past White Sands Missile Range (site of the first atomic bomb test), White Sands National Monument (gated in the government shutdown), and Holloman AFB to Alomogordo and my loop tour. White-capped peaks and Chihuly glass at the Apache-run Inn of the Mountain Gods. Unexpected Wyeth legacies (and a frank artists’s message) at the Hurd Gallery in tiny San Patricio. And a very different form of roadside art along the way.
