Late Afternoon at Site 4, Cygnus, City of Rocks State Park, Faywood NM, March 1, 2012
A tight fit
It was a tight fit but I managed to maneuver the rig and trailer into this nice site.
This is probably my favorite New Mexico State Park and it's been a couple of years since I've been here for an extended stay and I think I'll stay a while. The rock formations are endlessly fascinating and photogenic and I want to see if I can get some more pictures to add to the tantalizing earlier ones I've been posting here the last few days.

It's Time to Go Home
The truth about nature is that she is inside us, all around us, just waiting for us to ask her what to do. The truth about civilization is that it was an honest mistake, an invention that was necessary at the time, a mere 30,000 years ago, when nature appeared to be letting us down and we thought we could do better. But now it has outlived its usefulness, and is out of control, and threatens the survival of all life on our planet, so it's time to let it go. It's time to move forward and imagine and invent a new culture, a sustainable one that works for all creatures on Earth, drawing on the best learnings from nature and the best innovations from civilization.
It's time to go home.
