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&#8230;I&#8217;m in no hurry, why don&#8217;t I stop and check it out?&#8221; 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&#8217;t really know why cause it seems like I&#8217;m a good ways away from Mexico.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2750.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-125\" alt=\"border patrol\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2750-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2750-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2750-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In any case a pro-tip to anyone going through the area. When the border patrol officer asks you politely &#8220;How many in your vehicle today?&#8221; do not answer &#8220;Just me sir, well&#8230;wait, INCLUDING the mexians??&#8221; That will result in the officer inspecting your vehicle and asking a LOT more questions. Just putting that out there for anyone thats interested. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>After I got passed that little self-induced hiccup &#8211; 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 &#8211; pure white! This is definitely one place I will visit again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2758.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-126\" alt=\"IMG_2758\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2758-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2758-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2758-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2763.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-128\" alt=\"IMG_2763\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2763-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2763-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2763-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2762.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-127\" alt=\"IMG_2762\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2762-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2762-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2762-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2766.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-129\" alt=\"IMG_2766\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2766-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2766-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2766-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2767.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-130\" alt=\"IMG_2767\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2767-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2767-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wagonerswest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_2767-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another great day.
