Some of you may not know that a Spaceport exists. It is located here in the middle of the desert, about 20 miles or so to the SE of TorC. The project is a joint venture between the state of New Mexico and several private enterprises. While the first commercial passenger flight into space is still somewhere on the horizon, the facility has already been the site of a number of launches. If you are interested in more information, do a search for Spaceport America.
On the way to the spaceport, we also visited the 'other' side of the dam at Elephant Butte Lake and you'll see some areas in our photos that you may remember from an earlier post when we explored the lake by boat.
The day drew to a close with another spectacular show in the sky. The whole day's photos are available here.
