Midway (gone away), 2
This was a treat – I got to walk right in to the abandoned drive-in and make as many photos as I wanted.

Midway (gone away), 1
A foggy day, an abandoned drive-in theater: how could it get any better? Well, having a camera would make it better. How fortunate that I did have one on hand…

Illuminations
Remember yesterday, when I posted my first-ever photo of Moriarty, New Mexico?
Here’s what I saw in the (gigantic) parking lot of a fireworks stand. See how those flags and banners are held by the wind? And see the puddles in the parking lot? That, plus the fact that I had an absolutely inappropriate coat will explain why I didn’t stay very long in Moriarty. But at least I got off the highway, finally, and looked around.

No ID?
I had a work trip last month, a couple of days of training in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Flights from Lubbock to Albuquerque are ridiculous, with some of them taking longer than it would take to drive over. So I did the reasonable thing: I drove to Albuquerque. It’s an easy trip from Lubbock and is one I’ve made many times.
But in all those Lbb-Abq drives I had never gotten off the highway in Moriarity, New Mexico, to see what was there.
It was a bit of a jackpot. Pete’s Bar, for example, was quite compelling.
