Prickly pear, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, January 8, 2009
Sheesh indeed
It looks like we're only allowed decent access here on the weekends. My guess is there is some major equipment overhaul work going on in Verizon's world.
Want to wager Broadband Access comes up mid morning tomorrow, like it did last Friday?
Grumble.
Night camp
Site 7 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

Norden Bombsight training at Deming NM
During the Second World War, Deming was again the designated location for a training base. This time, the Deming Army Air Base was established east of town to train young airmen in the use of the secret Norden bombsight. The trainees were processed in groups of 500 every 6 weeks, and they flew their missions in the 150 AT-11 Beechcraft trainers, designated the Kansan, each armed with up to 10 practice bombs.
