Day 3, 26 December
1996 Today, the Christopher Bear and the Marmot™
drove around southern New Mexico, poking our heads
around and seeing what's up.
From Deming, we scooted across to White Sands
National Monument, a wonderful formation of gypsum
sand dunes. Really quite neat-you can drive among
the dunes and walk around.
Here I am (with the Saturn-of-Love in the
foreground), thinking this looks a lot like North
Dakota. "Didn't come from Brainard" was muttered
often in these parts.
Picnic tables sailing the dunes.
Deming, NM to Carlsbad, NM
Maybe 350 miles/560km
