I've established a home base for a month at friend Drake's house. Neither Beck nor Susie, my housemates, had yet been to White Sands.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to take us on a field trip to White Sands, Alamogordo (at Beck's recommendation for lunch at what he and Drake believe to be the best green chile cheeseburger in the land, notwithstanding this establishment's claim to same), and to Cloudcroft.

On one level, you get to White Sands, and you think, huh, a whole lotta white sand. Then, it begins to creep on you. A whole lotta white sand in the middle of the desert. No beaches. No ocean, no sea, no lake.

From a distance, it gleams.
When the wind comes, the sand lifts up and swirls like a figure skater executing a graceful double axel.

A plethora of White Sands posts here, sheesh, going back to 2011.
And my cumulative collection of White Sands photos in the slide show here.
