AAAAAARGH!

I never managed to get to the VLA!  It was either the VLA or Bosque del Apache, 
and I was outvoted 3-1.  <Grumble>

And actually, I was at White Sands from about 11:30 in the morning until one 
hour after sunset, with hardly another soul there.  It was great.  I really 
recommend mid-November as a good time to visit -- not hot, but nice vistas and 
very few tourists spoiling 'em.  Oh, and the Stealth fighters flying overhead 
from time to time were pretty cool, too.

Great shots of the VLA, Gary.  I'm jealous as Hell.  8^>
