Southern New Mexico –
Highway 9 in southern New Mexico – a favorite pay-out tow road where pilots can be towed to 10,000' MSL. No power lines, stop signs, intersections, bridges for over 40 miles. The tiny vehicle on the road is a truck pulling up a pilot for a high tow. Mountains in the distance are the Potrillo Mountains. When they are soarable it's indescribable. Like peace and quiet? No crowds – no anything for as far as the eye can see. Pilots can land anywhere but it might be a long walk out if you don't have a ride.
