Cowboy vs. The Desert April 16, 2007
On my road trip we stopped in the white sands of New mexico. Pretty neat to see, and it was also right near where the first atomic bomb blew up!

Like No Place Else on Earth
Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world’s great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Here, great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert and created the world’s largest gypsum dune field.
White Sands National Monument preserves a major portion of this unique dune field, along with the plants and animals that have successfully adapted to this constantly changing environment
