It is illegal to purchase property out here. Pajarito Mesa is not a squatter community, technically - an illegal community, maybe - and has no mail delivery and limited water and electricity. There was a
great article about it in the New York Times back in 2010.

Remote Sand Dune. Way, way, way, way out, at the end of a very rough, bumpy and sandy Los Padillas SW.
At first, I thought this was where Walt, Jesse and Saul rendezvous. Upon returning to Sacramento and reviewing the geography, I realized I missed the actual location.
The correct sand dune is probably at:
(34.995928°, -106.863600°)
The one I took considerable risks to travel to was this one.
(34.981448°, -106.865869°)
I could have wrecked the Ford Fiesta econo-car on these terrible roads! Dagnabit!

Lots of illegal dumping out here.
