Stacy Is Stymied

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6887

Stacy decided that by the time a cab could get to Socorro from Albuquerque, the day would be too far advanced to make it worthwhile going out to the VLA. So she dialed Betty's number and, as she had anticipated - since Betty had indicated that she would not be home till the evening - got her answering machine. When asked to leave a message, she said: "Hi, this is Stacy. I'm sorry to impose on you like this, but I have a problem. Socorro isn't really designed for someone who doesn't have their driving licence with them. There doesn't seem to be a local cab firm, so I can't get out to the VLA and the Visitors' Center. If you have any ideas as to how I could get out there tomorrow, perhaps you could meet me in the steakhouse? I'll be eating there from 7:30 till say 9:00."

She put down the phone. She had five and a half hours to kill. What was she going to do with the time? Socorro didn't seem to have a lot to offer the tourist.

  1. She decided to wander over to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology campus. Perhaps she could even wangle her way into the Array Operations Center, which she knew from the book was located there.
  2. She made a spur of the moment decision to try to hitch a ride out to the VLA.
