My dear friend Colleen is coming to visit over
Memorial Weekend during the Silver City Blues Festival. Yay! The closest big
airport is Tucson (or El Paso if you are coming from the east). Either is a 3-hour
drive from Silver City. As one of my new acquaintances who does marketing for
the one of the Arts councils said to me ‘There is no accidental tourism. You
are coming here for a reason.’ We are in the middle of nowhere. But it is one
of the most beautiful ‘nowheres’ I have ever been. After checking out all the
travel options, both Colleen and I thought it would be best for her to fly into
the small Grant County airport, about 20 miles outside of Silver City.
On Saturday, when I was out exploring the area, I drove past
the sign that showed the airport was about 7 miles up the road. Great! I would
go and check it out. And this is what I found. I think the pictures speak for
themselves. I sent pics to Colleen yesterday. Her response: “This is my kind of
airport. No crowds!” Ha Ha. And yes, the runways are fenced so the cattle don't wander in...
