Hands across New Mexico

In ABQ (Albuquerque) we drove to the Petroglyph National Monuments. One trail a short hike right behind a residential neighborhood, are 5000 out of 20,000 historic images along a volcanic escarpment.













Another unique museum documented the history of nuclear sciences. New Mexico is central to the early years of the atomic bomb with the Trinity Site and Los Alamos.


They showed everything from the early years to nuclear medicne and energy.








Here are two of the "Broken Arrows" (term for a missing nuclear bomb device), that were lost  and eventually recovered in Spain.

It was interesting since we had listened to the book Area 51 on the trip down and the stories of their developement.

Also included in the museum was a Smithsonian Exhibit titled "How Things Come Apart" Here's a photo of one, do you recognise it?
