We spent the night at the Walmart in Las Cruces and headed north to the White Sands Missile Range and White Sands National Monument the next day. White Sands National Monument is a preserve that incorporates a portion of what are 275 square miles of brilliant white gypsum sand dunes. We rented sleds at the visitor center and headed off into the dunes to find some steep sand dunes. We all loved the dunes and thoroughly enjoyed playing in the sand and sledding down the dune faces. The boys and I all agreed that we would love to cut loose here with the motorcycles and quads. Imagine pulling in here with an enclosed trailer, dropping the back door, firing up the quads and storming the dunes. It would be awesome – unfortunately it’s probably a federal offense. Nancy made sure the kids were showered off before getting back into the RV. We loved the white sand but didn’t want to take any with us J
