New Mexico

There isn't that much that happens in New Mexico....but we still found some good stuff to look at while we drove through on our way to Texas from Arizona. Weather was quite warm but we managed to hit a lot of rain and storms as you can see from the photos. The highlight of New Mexico for us was certainly the White Dunes National Monument, which is down in the south and was an amazing collection of sand dunes that come from gypsum leaching into nearby sandstone mountains and this white white sand collects in dunes very randomly. Very very dry there, and nearby is where they tested the atomic bombs that were later dropped on Japan.
