Heading Southwest

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6431

The caption to the photograph said: "The Very Large Array (VLA), in the Plains of San Augustin, 50 miles west of Socorro, NM." Unlike the picture, the names didn't ring any bells with Stacy, but she found a map in the book which showed her that Socorro was a little over 50 miles south of Albuquerque.

Stacy left the doughnut shop, went back to the cash machine and withdrew some more cash. She didn't know what the limit on withdrawals in a day was, but fortunately she didn't hit it. The lack of a credit card was a nuisance. Somewhen soon, she would have to see about getting one.

She bought herself a suitcase, a change of clothes and some toiletries, then hailed a cab to take her to the airport. She found that there were no direct flights to Albuquerque from New York, so she booked via Atlanta, causing the girl she bought the ticket from to raise her eyebrows when she paid in cash.

She arrived in Albuquerque in early evening. She had no driver's licence, indeed didn't even know if she could drive...

  1. So she took a taxi to Socorro.
  2. So she decided to spend the night in Albuquerque, and see about getting to Socorro in the morning.
