I must confess, with a certain level of shame, that I have never visited the White Sands National Park. I have visited the Great Sand Dunes in southern Colorado, but to those of you who have visited both, do the Sand Dunes compare to White Sands?

I've got a friend in the semi-mountainous hills near Ruidoso whom I could probably stay with. Geez, I've got to get down there!

Love, Steve

And here are some token photos of me ... How lovely!

were stationed at the missile proving grounds there before I was born.
They loved NM.

I wasn't able to see the white sands either when I was down there 3 years ago, or was it 4 years now? Can't remember will have to look it up.

I may have been there as a kid though, will have to ask the P's. I did see it from a vista though from up in the Sac Mountains. Does that count? :)

Also saw it when hiking on a ridge trail in 3 rivers petroglyphs near Tularosa. It was a FREE campground back then but alas now they charge fees. :(

I want to play in it, roll in it, hike in it, etc. It is the largest Gypsum sand dunes in the world I believe. Have to check out the space museam too.
