I went there from '78 to '80.
(Man, that was a loonnngggg time ago.)
Yep, Socorro NM, 50 miles from water, and half a mile from hell as we used to say! ;-)
Did you ever take the tour of the VLA?
I did, and it was pretty cool.
Remembering back on it, and thinking about all those banks of computers, (the size of refrigerators!), that used tape spools, is now pretty funny.
Follow Ups:
VLA was one of the few things in the area I never managed to visit - and I quite regret it! Especially on days when they were set up in the close configuration.
Still have some nifty things pulled out of F4s & other planes out in the artillery range. ;)
I ended up doing civil engineering and land surveying.
(My lifespan will probably be greatly lengthened by not getting "slabbed" in the mines, as a couple of my friends were. Yikes!!!)
So, did you ever end up climbing "M" mountain for that stupid initiation?
