Like No Place Else on Earth
Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, creating the world's largest gypsum dunefield. White Sands National Monument preserves a major portion of this unique dunefield, along with the plants and animals that live here.
We started out to White Sands early in the day. It would be 97 degrees for a high in Las Cruses.
Looks like another day in the Northeast, somewhere around mid-January....
Sometimes, you just have to be there to appreciate the beauty. Pictures don't do it any justice.
