We made the last run to Tucson in one very long driving day. Our only stop was at White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised to find the place open. We have been here before but our first visit was cut short by a missile launch. White Sands is a unique place. The “gypsum” sand is so white (and damp) it looks and acts like snow. The park even rents saucers so kids can sled down the dunes. Now that we are desert people, this is the kind of snow we like! We spent an hour hiking out away from the road so I could get a few photos with untrodden sand. It was also a good excuse to stretch our legs. So nice to be back in the land of sun!
