White Sands National Monument Alamogordo, New Mexico

White Sands National Monument is a sea of white gypsum that covers nearly 300 square miles in the Tularosa Basin near Alamogordo, New Mexico. It was an experience that we happened to find on our way to the Carlsbad Caverns. How lucky for us to have the opportunity to view this spectacular land. The sky was a little omnious as well, which thoroughly make it even more spectacular. We left our mark in the sand with the "Hello MN". It will last only until the wind blows again:-( In the meantime, know we have thought about all of you while we are out fossicking around.
