White Sands National Monument

We had a great day at White Sands National Monument today. It was a very pretty drive up to the park and then an amazing drive through the dunes. It is hard to believe how white they are. Drove on to Alamogordo and looked around a little. Made an early start back to Las Cruces but then the traffic was stopped and the whole highway was closed because the missile range was doing "lazer testing". We sat about 1 hour and then they finally let us all go. Back on the road tomorrow to the Escapee Park at Lakewood so we can see Roswell. We will stay there a couple of days and then head into Texas. We were surprised that they let people ride sleds down the dunes and play volleyball on top or whatever you wanted except drive a vehicle up. The kids were having a wonderful time.
