My dad jokes that Farmington is the last frontier. After learning that even Greyhound is discontinuing service to Farmington, that there are no emissions tests required for cars in New Mexico, and after seeing that it is customary to leave every car you have ever owned in your front yard like your own personal carhenge, it's hard to disagree with him. However, it does have its beauty, whether that's a beautiful sunset or an expansive junkyard or an 1100 -year-old city. Here are some pictures of the last frontier.
Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.
A series of very short doorways for Hobbit-sized people. Apparently, even Chacoans had to duck some. 
Turns out, walls start to bow and do what they feel like after standing for 401,500 days. 
Vulture. Chaco Canyon.

Clouds. Sunset. Farmington.
The last frontier and its expansive sky.
Fungus hanging on to a tree near Durango, CO.
Sunglasses and a Skoal can left in a car, which is part of this massive junkyard on the edge of town.
Broken windshield. Cars to horizon.
Ford Ranger. God Bless America sticker. 
Even the school bus comes here to be picked apart over the years.
When you are all picked over, you become the ideal surface for paint swatches and paint balls.
