White Sands NM

I thought White Sands, near Las Cruces NM, was all about the testing of the first A-bomb at the location known as The Trinity Site.  Uh uh, not at all.  It's all about a unique area of gypsum sand that looks like the aftermath of a heavy blizzard on a Midwest prairie.

I wonder how often they have to plow the road and parking areas.
