White Sands National Monument. Located on Hwy 70 Between Alamogordo and Las Cruces New Mexico. These glistening white wave like dunes are gypsum. They cover 275 square miles. The dunes and the road to them close periodically due to the White sand missile range testing schedule. Interesting... no sirens went off for us. Surprisingly, there is flora and fauna in the sands. T saw a tarantula on the road to this place. I was looking at the map so I didn't see it. He said it was huge. It was very hot yesterday. 87 degrees. A lot warmer than our mountains right now. Only upper 60 to low 70's right now.
