The Scrap Metal Roadrunner north of Alamogordo is alive and well, just inside the gate of Basin Pipe and Metal Recycling. There is a well-used pull-off to take pictures.
[Mack Hodags, 03/08/2020]Good overnight rest area. Free, bathrooms are clean, and sunset/sunrise are gorgeous!

Scrap metal paisano doing well for its age. Easily accessible and a decent pullover to safely park your vehicle and take photos.
