Ok, so this was supposed to be a motorcycle camping trip. This has not been the case, unless you consider Motel 6 camping. This has been through no fault of ours. Each night, we've been ready, willing, and able to set camp but the universe has conspired to keep us from it. Case in point, Sunday evening...
We arrived at White Sands National Monument at around 7pm ready to camp, only to be told that, due to nearby lightning, no camping was being allowed. I happened to agree with that decision - especially after having just avoided the storm that was producing the lightning up in Cloudcroft.
The park ranger at White Sands NM was nice enough to direct us to another campsite, over 25 miles away. Nope! Motel 6 it is! Actually, this worked out fine, since Dennis was a bit reluctant to camp in a missile testing area. Not without a Geiger counter and some hazmat suits, at any rate.
Another night at another Motel 6 sees the six of us ready to tackle those white sand dunes. They are made of gypsum sand and are blindingly white.
