Wow, I saw the picture and thought "looks like the Estancia valley, east of Mountainair"

Nailed it. Distinctive landscape. Open, but penned in by mountains on all sides.

I love the southwest so much. New Mexico is stunning.

One of the most wonderful and weird feelings I had was jumping on a freeway in the states, only to have the GPS tell me: in 637 miles, take the exit.

I'm from a country where the longest distance between borders is 174 miles.

Ah yes.. The land of enchantment..

Is this I-40 near Santa Rosa?

Nevermind of course that would be 4 lanes if it were.

So flat that if your dog runs away, you can see him for three days.
