    Thank you for posting this video! I'm from Alabama, but our family lived in Magdalena from 1967 to 1974. My parents were Southern Baptist Missionaries to the Navajo Indians of the Alamo Reservation 27 miles northwest of town. I brought my wife and daughter out there on vacation in 2007. It was very nostalgic to see the home where we once lived as well as where I went to school. We moved back home to Alabama in 1974, but New Mexico never left me. It still holds a special place in my heart. I want to come back to visit after I retire, which is just three years away. There's so much I want to show my family that we didn't get to do during our last trip!

    Apparently, there were no actual explosive volcanoes that formed the Valley of Fires. The molten lave simply flowed straight out of the earth from fissures. This type of volcanic activity is also why New Mexico and Arizona are rich in copper deposits. And those lava fields are Geologically quite recent.

    • @karliw2218
      @karliw2218 3 года назад +2

      Right, Apollo it reminds me of what is happening in Iceland now. Volcano started March 20, then a new fissure opened and t he lava flowed down to mare valley. In meantime the Bob Volcano filled the valley it was in. And more fissures opened. Growing substantially. Several locals filming.

    Hi Russ, thank you for taking us on this great trip. I bet that blueberry pie you bought in Pie Town was delicious! It looked good! Just a side note, in case any of your viewers might be interested in reading some "historical fiction", there is a Trilogy written by Michael McGarrity about 3 generations of cattle ranchers who homesteaded in the San Andreas mountains and much of the story/stories take place in the Tularosa Basin. The author writes about the Trinity first Atom bomb and a lot about life on a ranch in that area. Great reading. Three books beginning with "Hard Country" which starts in the late 1880's, 2nd book is "Backlands", the 3rd is called "The Last Ranch", which includes the Trinity blast. OK, thanks.

    Those roads from Los Angeles to Roswell NM sucks! My grandparents lived there in the 1970’s I remember going there when I was a kid. All that flat land! Was in a blizzard coming home one year
