Question
Monday, April 6th, 2009Where’s the water?
Thursday, January 8th, 2009We spent two days hanging out at Three Rivers Petroglyphs–a BLM site about 50 miles from White Sands National Monument. There was some strong wind in the forecast and we figured the last place we’d want to be is in the middle of some sand dunes, so we relaxed at Three Rivers for a couple of days. Another beautiful spot, with some pretty neat campground hosts who spend part of their year there. We settled into a pretty good morning routine. Wake up, read, coffee, breakfast of either eggs or pancakes, morning walk, sun basking…I could get used to this.
After waiting out the wind we took off for White Sands. This is an incredible place that is almost hard to describe. It’s so different from anywhere we’ve ever been, and had us thinking we were at the beach. Ahh, soon enough…
