NP porte bien son nom. Une petite enclave entre deux-trois bases militaires recouverte de sable blanc. Il s'agit de gypse ! Lunettes de soleil très fortement recommandées ! Ici, les gens viennent faire de la luge, enfin, quand le parc n'est pas fermé car il y a des essais de tirs de missiles ! 😅 (mais il y a au moins un avion de chasse qui passe le mur de son chaque jour).

With the weather warming up this week into the 70s and 80s, I'm already dreaming of my next road trip and White Sands New Mexico is calling my name! One of the most beautiful places to watch a sunset and enjoy the softest sand on your feet (and it doesn't stick to you at all!) If you ever have a chance to do one of the parks full moon late nights here - DO IT!!

Happy

This is Lake, near Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo New Mexico. It's 4 miles from White Sands National Park.

It looks beautiful, doesn't it?

New Mexico is trying to close the lake though because the concentration of hazardous chemicals at the site poses a risk to public health and the environment.

It's wastewater.

White Sands National Park near Alamogordo, New Mexico.
This is where they test all the crazy military aircrafts. Jenn bought a little blue saucer sled and went sledding down the gypsum dunes. Thanksgiving is strange after traveling across the country from the Freedom Trail through Navajo Nation. I'm grateful for this beautiful country and my opportunities to capture it, but thanksgiving is bullshit.
