Total Silence.
After putting on my camera pack then hiking for five minutes
I was greeted by total silence.
If you
have been following my blog over the past few years you know I have been
day-hiking monthly through northern New Mexico.
In all my hikes I have never experienced quiet like this. Because it’s a holiday Holloman Air Force
Base is quiet, there’s no birds, there’s no breeze, no wildlife that I can see,
and because I was the second car of three in line to get into the park there’s no
traffic or people. Each people-packed
vehicle seems to know where they want to go and go there. With the monument made up of 275 square miles
of gypsum it is easy to get away from others if you want.
