Late Afternoon at Site 4, Cygnus, City of Rocks State Park, Faywood NM, March 1, 2012
A tight fit
It was a tight fit but I managed to maneuver the rig and trailer into this nice site.
This is probably my favorite New Mexico State Park and it's been a couple of years since I've been here for an extended stay and I think I'll stay a while. The rock formations are endlessly fascinating and photogenic and I want to see if I can get some more pictures to add to the tantalizing earlier ones I've been posting here the last few days.

A Theory of the State
States have a peculiar dual character. They are at the same time forms of institutionalized raiding or extortion, and utopian projects. The first certainly reflects the way states are actually experienced, by any communities that retain some degree of autonomy; the second however is how they tend to appear in the written record.
