Ahhhh New Mexico

Left Midland, TX this morning determined to finish our journey across the state. The desert became more desert-like and mountains came into view. We stopped in Van Horn (pop <1,900) for lunch and highly recommend Lizy's pictured below. We stopped at White Sands National Monument which is the largest gypsum dunefield in the world (275 square miles). It looks like shimmering snow anchored by desert plants. It's an amazing and beautiful place. As we left, Doug said, "This is why we are traveling."
And another reason we are traveling is the motor home pictured below towing a travel trailer and a boat! Now that's a lifestyle, right?
