A long travel day starting off with snow, followed by a $250 stop at Camping World for new wheel straps, car battery and other necessities, a stop in the middle of the day at the most desolate city park EVER and ending in a state park in the middle of no where New Mexico. Matt has this love/hate relationship with the GPS. When he fights her and tries to go his own way, we usually end up on a diversion, mumbling curses under his breath as he tries to get back on her path.....with the echoing "do the nearest U-turn" coming from the device. That being said, we were faithfully following her directions to the Oliver Lee State Park outside of Alamogordo, NM and both of us were shaking our heads, saying "where are we going?", "there is nothing out here". Low and behold, at the end of a long road of nothingness, we arrived at the state park.

Today, we head out to White Sands National Park. A quick stop at Walmart to pick up some sleds for the trips down the dunes. Needless to say, we are all anticipating a GREAT day!
New Mexico makes the high desert of Boise look lush. I'll trade the lushness of Boise for those white sand dunes, though. FUN!
