WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT AND SPACE HISTORY MUSEUM



Went to White Sands National Monument and the New Mexico Space History Museum today.  Connie and I were at White Sands in early 1978 before we headed up to Alaska.  The place has sure changed.  They have a better road out to the dunes than they used to and a new visitors center.  We had a great time and Zeph just loved to run around off the leash when we walked out in the dunes a ways.  



Lizard tracks.




I took a picture of Connie jumping off a dune back in 78 - she could jump higher and further back then!

Zeph loves to run!




The dunes go on for quite a distance.



Local families come out and slide down the dunes on disks used for snow.


This guy had left a track over a 100 feet.

Looks like a big set of braids.




New Mexico has a long relationship with the space industry and NASA.
