The International Space Hall of Fame & Museum
The New Mexico Museum of Space History
Three Rivers Petroglyph Site
Alamogordo, NM
Here it is after the picnikers have gone.
This is the remains of a V2 rocket fired here after the war.
The signs explain the vehicles.
Landscape around the Museum
Flight Suit.
The view from the front of the Space Museum is amazing. The white strip in front of the mountains in the distance is White Sands National Monument which is over 20 miles away.
Some of the food for the Space Shuttle. That Pepsi can looks like a whipped cream can.
SkyLab Toilet. Not sure how to actually use it.
The many layers of a space suit.
The Trinity Site Memorial The site of the first detonation of an atom bomb. It's open to the public only 2 times a year.
This is a memorial to the astronauts who lost their lives in the pursuit of space travel
How many Gs can you take?
HAM is buried here.
The Three Rivers Petroglyph Site
This old lady couldn't walk the steep hill to the site and Abby was not allowed, so we wandered around down here. Donna went and took these photos.
There was not a lot of information about these petroglyphs at the site. I suggest the following websites for more info.

This taken at the first level above the parking area. The shelter at top right is where I was sitting with Abby.
Donna likened the rock formation to a spine as it rose up in a curvy spiky row.
There's that parking area again. Glad I didn't attempt the climb.
The old school house.
