Description:This photo from early 1992, was taken at the proposed center of the MMA site in the Magdalena Mountains, now the site of the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer, looking north toward the South Baldy summit. Visiting observer Don Backer with NRAO staff members Joan Wrobel, Dave Wunker, and Phil Dooley, make one of the frequent visits to that site to check snow levels and tipper data. Craig Walker says Backer's skis and poles were borrowed: "Don's participation in one of our South Baldy trips is something we remember well. He was here on other business and had to borrow gear. Hence the blue jeans (rather inappropriate for a ski trip) and the satchel rather than a pack." Perhaps his upside pole is informally measuring snow depth? A crane at one of the NMIMT research sites is just visible over the crest. [show more]

Description:The VLA was dedicated in October 1980, and a 20th anniversary celebration was held at the site on 24 May 2000. There were 400 guests, including attendees at the concurrent Gas and Galaxy Evolution Conference, scientists, retired and active employees, VLA site neighbors (ranchers), local dignitaries, and others who worked closely with the VLA. In this photo, the celebration's organizing committee members, although slightly windblown, look justifiably pleased with the results of their hard work. Left to right: Joan Wrobel, Jim Ulvestad, Dave Finley, Patty Lindsey, Pat Lewis, Terry Romero, Clint Janes, Skip Lagoyda, and Lew Serna. Phoo by Roy Norville. [show more]
