Planet Romulus - a photo on Flickriver

Planet Romulus

Here is stop number two on this week's little roadtrip. I've been hearing about this place for years, and now I can say that everything I've heard is true. It is AMAZING!!! Bisti Badlands, in New Mexico. It's huge! It's spread out. If you don't know where you're going, you can wander all day. And, if you don't pay attention, you can be lost all day. You have to walk in about two miles before you start to see anything interesting, but once you do… WOW! I mean… Look at this place! I know I keep saying it, but seriously, this looks like another planet. It's hard to believe my own eyes when I see places like this. Yes, this really does exist, and yes, it really does look like this.

Anyway, this was taken at dusk. We had to hike back in the dark, which was a little scary. It's easy enough to get lost in that place during the day. Everything looks the same. It's like hiking in a giant maze.
