"I think that New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I ever had.
It certainly changed me forever ... The moment I saw the brilliant proud morning (sun) shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe,
something stood still in my soul."

The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge
At 650 feet above the Rio Grande,the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, 10 miles west of Taos, NM, is the fifth highest bridge in the United States.
The bridge, on U.S. Route 64, was dedicated on September 10, 1965.
Toby's office was near the bridge as is the landfill. Why didn't you get a photo of the landfill? Now you need to take a raft trip down the Rio Grande and get photos looking up from the river.
Is this where you lost Gary? LOL I'm impressed that you would even go close to this bridge again. I know you don't make it a point to visit the highest bridges in the US. I get weak knees just looking at the pics.

Went there once when my oldest were 3 and 1. It scared me with them up there. But it is beautiful.
