White Sands National Monument
BY TAYLOR DUNCAN | POSTED: NOV 30, 2018
I finally got to White Sands National Monument after two full days of driving. There is nothing special about driving across the plains, so I was ready for a break from the endless flat countryside! Even the drive up to the dunes was nothing special, but once I got to the visitors' center, I knew I was in for a treat.
I was supposed to meet @dani_the_explorer, @scottyreichard, and @spencerfochtman for some dune exploration, but there wasn't quite a concrete plan yet. Until they got to the dunes, I decided not to venture too far in and did some shorter, touristy hikes remaining in cell service. These were a nice taste for what we would later find. I was able to get a fuller dune experience reading all of the information signs they had and spotted some of the dune wildlife that has adapted incredibly well to the white sand.
Around noon, I met the three Instagrammers for the first time, and we ventured further into the dunes to the Alkali Flats trail - a five mile loop at the heart of the dunes. There are markers for the trail, but we wandered around aimlessly making jokes, laughing, and taking photos as we went.
Both Spencer and I had both been to Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, and we kept trying to compare the two dune fields. It was hard not to. The beauty from the Great Sand Dunes came from their vastness and enormity. The White Sands however are much different. They are not as large and do not cover as much geographical area, but look pure because they are perfectly white.
Our day continued on to a campsite in the backcountry camping area - Campsite 2. This site offered perfect access to the dune field for sunset. After dinner, we hiked through the dunes.
“
There are markers for the trail, but we wandered around aimlessly making jokes, laughing, and taking photos as we went.
They changed color while the sun started to set. I thought the Great Sand Dunes were beautiful at sunset, but these dunes mirrored the colors of the sky perfectly. They turned a golden yellow at the start of the sunset and then changed to red then purple and lastly blue before the darkness took over. It was an experience that I won't soon forget, and I'm sure none of my companions will either!
As the night came, our shenanigans continued into the campsite, creating memories with lots of inside jokes. We researched the position of the Milky Way for that night and found that it would be visible at 4:30 am, when the moon went away. We set our alarms for four and called it a night.
Spencer, Scotty, and I woke ready to go, but Dani remained in her tent, needing that extra beauty sleep! She definitely missed out! The Milky Way was almost vertical in the southern sky. As our eyes adjusted, we moved a tent for photo purposes. The stars seemed to get brighter and brighter!
We planned some shots and experimented with flashlights for the majority of the time, and got some incredible photos! The light in the clouds in these two photos is light pollution from Las Cruces, NM and El Paso, TX. I'm usually not a fan of light pollution, but in this case it adds another element to the photos that I think really works!
As dawn and the sunrise approached, the sands started to change their color again, and we were treated to an incredible display in the sky! I've come to find that I've been pretty spoiled when I've been in the Southwest. There haven't been many sunrise or sunset duds!
After sunrise, we packed up camp and headed back to the cars. Spencer had an extra day in New Mexico, and he decided to tag along with me to my next location, Shiprock! We said our goodbyes to Dani and Scotty and went our separate ways.

Another question that you may have is why do internet gambling establishments offer such huge perks? Well, the answer is easy – competition. There are more online casinos out there on the web than ever previously, and they are constantly trying to find ways to entice in more gamers to their CASINO ONLINE. In order to get you to sign up, they are willing to use some pretty substantial benefits.
Since you are not the only person that has to take such things into consideration, there is not simply one kind or style of Gambling establishment Poker Table Felt out there. You may even wish to consider the GAME CASINO layout on the felt. Of course you do not need to take all of these things into factor to consider as a few of them will not apply to you. However concentrating on what does matter to you will assist you in discovering the perfect felt for your needs.
For Christmas, I got them a good, black leather padded poker table and these 11.5 g Winning Hands CASINO POKER Chips were the best match. I had already chosen a black, red and white primary plan for redecorating, and these CASINO POKER chips were simply the device the room required. We had the white flocked Christmas tree in the corner with the red twinkling lights and this red felt table with the black leather chairs and padding were just waiting on some players to begin clicking these contemporary black and white Las Vegas design poker chips.
There were 9 players and we chose to play a buy in tournament instead of simply playing for genuine cash. Everyone began with fifteen hundred in chips and we were just happy to be sitting together and bonding over a video game of poker. After we dealt for the button, and on my first hand, I was dealt the very best hand in poker; pocket aces. I raised up another gamer and the pot pressed all of his chips in. I called instantly and he showed pocket kings. The flop was dealt and the other gamer struck a king and took me out of the tourney.
You require to be sharp and it needs a great deal of ability to make it in Casino Poker, whether you dip into a genuine gambling establishment or in an Online Poker Environment. There is great deals of excitement when you win and great deals of emotional distress when you’re wagering a lot and lose. If you are looking for some extra drama in your life, this is something you should certainly consider.
