1972: Short black postmarks mark the entrance to a small dirt strip in a vast, barren New Mexico landscape. The scene captures a remote, open area with low plants, gravel, and distant mountain peaks under a clear blue sky. Slanted poles and wires stretch across the horizon, creating a zigzag pattern against the flat terrain. The footage, shot on 8mm home movie film, shows a quiet, desolate setting with rigid upright posts and a fluttering paper element, evoking a sense of isolation and early technology in a rugged, open environment.
