While driving to El Paso for dinner, I got a good shot of the KTSM Antenna tower and the Aerial Tramway that my daddy built back in the 60s. The Tramway system goes down the other side of the mountain....quite a fete at the time. my dad and brothers and workers went up and down the mountain on a platform and a cable, to build it. The actual TV tower had giant bolts that needed to be tightened every few days, in the beginning, because the wind made the tower sway! Now, of course, there is a cable car.....and last I heard, it was no longer running........BUT, the big thing at the time, was that you could see 3 states and 2 countries! (Texas, New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico!)

Headed back to the mountains at the end of the week.
