We have been to the White Sands National Monument before, but we see a few new caches out that way, so that's where we headed today.  It was 82 degrees out there today, so it was HOT!  We did a Virtual Cache there, and just spent a little time driving around.

We drove along the park road, and it looked like snow banks along the roadside.  It's sand!  It's quite an interesting place to visit.  When we were here last time, we saw the white lizard, that evolved over time to adapt to this environment.  The only way we could identify it, was to see his shadow in the sand.  Otherwise, he was totally white, and if it weren't for his shadow, we would have never seen him. It was too hot today to stick around to see if we could find another one.
