Trundling West and North
We camped, after viewing the video and waiving all rights to claims of injury or indiscretion, on the Barry M Goldwater Range (BMGR) East. Scatterings of druzy quartz add to the thrills of hiking.

Homeland Security
In Socorro, buying beer, the cashier asked to see some identification. Even after my hairy eyeball she, with the sweetness only a woman can conjure, informed my driver's license'ld expire in three days.
Thinking to avoid the long drive back, I took a number in Truth or Consequences. There, perhaps a projection, perhaps not, I worked to detect a hint of solace nestled in her comment: "We're Homeland Security Compliant." "Congratulations!" I rejoined. She followed it with a Teutonic-inflected, "Und your dokumentayshun ist INadeqvit!"
UPDATE 1/23/18 5:46 pm
I returned to ABQ, files, adequate documentation, and took a number at the nearest Albuquerque Motor Vehicle Division facility.
The "helpful lady" circulating through the crowd said it was all about quelling terrorism. And her son is a Green Beret and he knows ALL about terrorists!!
Eventually, as with constipation, it came out in the end.
