Snow & Sand

After entering New Mexico I did one of my favorite things - a drive on a twisty mountain road. Up into the Sacramento Mountains and the Lincoln National Forest I went and then (topping out at 8650 feet in Cloudcroft) down the other side. Great drive!


I descended into Alamogordo (of H-Bomb fame) and just past town, stopped in at the White Sands National Monument and lucked into a guided sunset tour of the dunes. These dunes are the world's largest gypsum dunefield, covering 275 square miles. Interesting tour and spectacular scenery.

This is the first time my aging computer has let me comment. I have been following along with you. Stay safe and warm. You have a cousin in Santa Fe. Two more in California... just in case
