May 11, 2014 — White Sands National Monument located near Lincoln National Forest, is a vast, white sun reflector where sunglasses aren't enough to make you stop squinting. It's a surreal experience to be be amongst these white dunes that serve as a foreground for hazy, purple mountains with nobody around. Listening to the wind whistle and feeling the prickles of hot sand hitting my legs and back as gusts blow it all over the place reminds me that there is no life nearby aside from a few puny, poor bushes sticking out of the sand.

If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!

My site is free to use, but consider sending me a few bucks to help keep it running. Thanks in advance!
