Ken Sanchez Passes Away
Not a good sign when someone in your graduating class passes away: Ken Sanchez, longtime councilman for Albuquerque's West Side. At the 40th high school reunion in 2014, we even did a conga line together and slapped each others backs. Politically, we were probably at opposite poles, but at least he got the West Mesa Aquatic Center built. RIP Ken Sanchez:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Ken Sanchez, one of the longest serving Albuquerque city councilors and an advocate for the West Side, died Wednesday.
He was 63.
In a room full of over 40 loved ones, Mayor Tim Keller, city councilors and Sanchez’s family announced his death Wednesday night.
They didn’t give details on the cause of death.
“Today, we lost one of our most beloved public servants,” Keller said. “It’s with a heavy heart that I have to inform the city of Albuquerque of the passing of Councilor Ken Sanchez.”
Sanchez suffered a “medical emergency” in late November and had not returned to City Hall. In a statement issued at the time, City Council staff said Sanchez was expected to make a full recovery but noted that “his family asks that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers.”
...Sanchez, a Democrat, was first elected to the City Council in 2005. The decades-long West Side resident had won another four-year term in 2017. He served three terms as council president.
During his tenure on the council, he helped steer a number of infrastructure projects, including the Patrick J. Baca Library, Fire Station No. 7 and the West Mesa Aquatic Center.
Sanchez operated the Gilbert Sanchez Tax Accounting Firm and was the president of Ken Sanchez & Associates Realty.
...During his 2017 reelection campaign, he told the Journal that serving on the City Council and Bernalillo County Commission were his major professional accomplishments, saying that he was able to bring “people together to deal with the challenges and injustice that we have faced on Albuquerque’s West Side.”
For school, he attended Holy Rosary, West Mesa High School, the College of Santa Fe and the University of New Mexico.

The Winter So Far
The winter so far - drought in the Pacific Northwest and more rain than usual for the Southwestern deserts. Now, if we can only get rain and snow to western Colorado - the headwaters of the Colorado River.Because of the late start to the rainy season, Sacramento is only about 78% of normal precipitation right now.

Last updated: March 7, 2023
Adventure, Supernatural Horror; based upon the novel by Martin Cruz Smith. A colony of vampire bats threaten a Native American community. Starring Nick Mancuso, David Warner, Kathryn Harrold, and Strother Martin. Filming locations: Albuquerque, Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, Laguna Pueblo.

Looks like....Rio Puerco area
I had previously determined that the ranch used in the opening sequence (with vampire-bat-stricken horse corpses) is off Highway 6 on Laguna Pueblo lands (Old Sedillo Unit: 34.937524°, -107.120868°). So, here is the gate to the ranch. There is a sign saying "No Trespassing." So, I have to decide if I have enough time to walk to the ranch and maybe get jailed if the area is being patrolled today. About 1 kilometer away (0.7 miles). Tempting, but maybe not enough time today....
This is frustrating. I can see the ranch buildings, about a quarter mile away.
This hill is visible in ranch scenes.

Stone House
Like other Pueblo communities, photography and sketching are strictly forbidden in the community - anything that can capture human likenesses - without permits and consultation with authorities. The reason is religious. Other tribal groups (Navajos, Apaches) don't have bans like this. I don't know how they square their religion with moviemaking - money helps, of course - but it sure crimps tourism. So, my challenge was to surreptitiously take just a few photos without incorporating any people in them or otherwise stepping on people's sensibilities.
In "Nightwing," the Pueblo community buildings look fantastically fragile. Forty-five years later, many of the buildings have been replaced. Here are two pictures of the hill on which Old Laguna is built. Many of these buildings are held in families, and are probably inhabited by the elderly, or used on celebration days, when families come into Laguna from outlying communities.

Other movies have been filmed at Laguna Pueblo: "Ace in the Hole" (1962), starring Kirk Douglas; "Sicario" (2015), which used the soccer field at Laguna Pueblo; and "Sicario: Day of the Soldado" (2018). I believe there was a War-on-Terror kind-of movie that was filmed here too.

I took some pictures of the Catholic Church, because I figured they might care a little less about photos there. The church is only fleetingly visible in "Nightwing," but the whitewashed walls surrounding the church are quite noticeable. According to Wikipedia, the church dates to the year 1699, immediately following the Pueblo Revolt, but the community itself is truly ancient. (I notice Wikipedia says 6,500 B.C., but an exact date is unknown.)
The only place I visited that is assuredly in "Nightwing" is the view from the top of the hill immediately north of town (35.039363°, -107.382978°). In the movie, the helicopter raid is filmed from here. Steep hill. Lots of cactus too, which I learned about the hard way.

Suggestions of a ring of rocks are present on the hill summit.

I wish I had been more successful at getting "Nightwing" photos, but with time and photo limitations, it was hard to get more.
