White sands…

Another great day. I slept in a little, then hit the road around 10a or so. I drove west on route 70 from Roswell to Las Cruces and jumped on I10. On the way I passed White Sands National Park. I passed it by and got to thinking…I’m in no hurry, why don’t I stop and check it out?” So I made a u-turn and headed back. As I was heading back I had to pass through a border patrol station. I don’t really know why cause it seems like I’m a good ways away from Mexico.

In any case a pro-tip to anyone going through the area. When the border patrol officer asks you politely “How many in your vehicle today?” do not answer “Just me sir, well…wait, INCLUDING the mexians??” That will result in the officer inspecting your vehicle and asking a LOT more questions. Just putting that out there for anyone thats interested. šŸ™‚

After I got passed that little self-induced hiccup – I made it to the park. What a beautiful place. Everything around is brown and dead looking, then out of nowhere these sand dunes rise out of the desert – pure white! This is definitely one place I will visit again.
