I appreciate your work and thread re to Dulce. I also am a resident of NM and years ago I spent some time researching and poking around the Dulce
area. One Sunday I drove up onto Arculetta Mesa, which is not desert but mostly covered by conifer forest. I visited the antenna installations at
the edge of the mesa which are clearly visible from the town. Nothing seemed unusual at that site. Adjacent to the road leaving, there was a small
logging operation and there was a bulldozer hitched to a very large multi-disk tilling implement. A number of acres had been tilled using this
machinery, which I have never seen before in connection with logging activities. There were two guys moving around in the area who looked nothing like
loggers. One was operating the dozer. They were wearing bright plaid jackets, new clean boots, had military style haircuts, were squeaky clean and
appeared like city people trying to look outdoorsy ... the catalog look The whole scene struck me as bizarre at the time. That night at the
Jicarilla Inn there were a few more men who appeared to be military/Gov.Ops sorts, (judging by their haircuts, deportment, muscle mass/tone and body
language) in causal civilian attire. In the morning I noted two white Suburbans next to each other in the parking lot. Neither was licensed and each
had a sticker in the back window indicating the vehicles were from Utah but no ID was visible. Later in the morning the Gov types drove off in the
Suburbans headed south. After checking out at midday I had a look at the bulletin board in the entry way and was not surprised to see a notice there
offering a reward for information related to a missing prize Hereford bull. None of these observations are necessarily meaningful in isolation, but
all together, considered in the context of one weekend spent in the Dulce area left me with the feeling that at the very least there are odd things
going on around Dulce. As a couple of asides: On another excursion I visited the site of Project Gasbuggy. It’s open to the public and marked by a
plaque, but a good distance form the paved highway It occurred to me that such activities might relate to your map of earthquakes. Also, one of the
foregoing posts indicated that Valdez Caldera is close to Dulce, which is not accurate. The caldera is at least 75 miles southeast of Dulce.
