Back at White Sands, Leona and Owen were taking a nice relaxing break atop a dune,
with drinks and donuts, while the kids were having fun elsewhere.....

Jan decided to join them - which made for a fun picture. But who is out of scale in whose world?
Trudging back to the RV. It's nice to have an assistant!
We left White Sands and headed west, with the intention of heading into the mountains and taking the very first hair-raising drive to Puye Cliff Dwellings that we took on our very first trip here to the southwest almost 20 years ago, and see if it was really as scary as we remembered. But the road was closed - probably washed out from all the major storms the past two days - so we had to spend hours doubling back. One bonus - the sunset over the desert was amazing that evening. The sunset was completely different in every direction - to the east it was puffy pink clouds over a deep blue landscape. To the south behind us, the sky was cloudless with colours blending from deep blue high above, to red at the horizon. To the west, the sky was a riot of colour.....
and to the north there were huge thunderstorms with the clouds lit up by the constant lightning.
It was like watching four sunsets all at once.
Well, I'm finally all caught up with my photos, and all the new albums are now finished, except the final Fall Trip album with the pictures of Southern New Mexico - but it is up to date. Just three more attractions to visit, and we'll have finished the entire trip.
