Scenic view of Wall of Tanks

The Line of Tanks is a strange desert sight: a long row of old military tanks and armored vehicles sitting in the scrub south of Albuquerque. The tanks are on DOE land and are not publicly accessible, so for now they are best viewed from satellite imagery. I’ll see if I can get access in the future, I just wanted to record that they are there.
