Doing some real sightseeing today. Drove an hour East to the White Sands Preserve. It's like a park that you get charged to go into see. I took a couple of pictures a description but it's basically gypsum derived from eons of geological changes in that area. Its the largest gypsum deposit in the world I do believe. I must remark however that coming from the land of beaches It's Not Unusual to see large stretches of white sand. I have to wrap my head around the fact that this is gypsum not ocean beaches.
It's always inspiring to see the crystal blue skies, solo clouds hanging suspended, independent of any other, and distant mountain ranges. I also extended my drive and other 20 miles and went to a town called Alamogordo. Its nestled back against the mountains. From a distance you can see a snow-covered Peak called Sierra Blanco. The locals nicknamed it Old Baldy. I visited a space museum with all the historical documentation of the space flight that America and Russia has taken over many years. We haven't had anybody traveling in space for a very long time since the 1970s. I'm at the point of debating whether to pack it up on Saturday and drive over to Roswell and tour the museums of UFO history.
