The day we visited White Sands was one of the windiest days we had encountered while in New Mexico. And sand and wind are not a nice mix. Every time we got out of the car it was like being blasted by thousands of tiny needles (note the bandannas and my hair). Poor Ed climbed to the top of a dune and really got pummeled. By the way, the sand at the monument contains gypsum, making it very white. It's considered the whitest place on earth when viewed from space. Nice, but we kept expecting to see the ocean, which, naturally, wasn't there.
We are still in Fredericksburg, TX. Going to San Antonio today, will report.
