Default JS-1 Lands In Dry Lake South of Moriarty, NM

The JS1 is up there with (I believe) Ely Dan's photo of a Lak12 landout:

In that case a dry lake wasn't a dry lake, it was sand dunes.
Also shows the improvement in digital images.

Too familiar with the mud that collects on your shoes in that situation. Kempton used a photo of the LS6 on Goshute Lake in one of his presentations.
Elevation 7000'MSL and a 200' ground roll.
