I lived there for 15 years.
It is a textbook example of US MILITARISM infrastructure and extreme poverty existing side-by-side.
The Air Force base has polluted the groundwater over decades which they are trying to ameliorate if you can trust anything that these entities claim. One reason I left.
Thank you for this. I deleted a prior attempt at posting, because it posted twice, but then it erased twice - hopefully that doesn't happen upon reposting.
Anyway, I used to live in that neighborhood. We used to say that if we seceded, we'd be the third largest nuclear holder in the world, with the 2000 nukes in the mountains there.
Curious about the route - going down Louisiana gets you to Kirtland AFB... not sure about getting to Sandia from there... but then I never tried to walk there :)
I'll let friends know. I also saw there is zero info on the P & J sites, so I'll give people a heads up on that too.
