Backpacking White Sands

Backpacking White Sands

 

How is White Sands different than all other dunes in the US? Well when you leave all the vegetation you get a feeling you are in the worldest largest unused ashtray. When I was a kid and didn't know any better I would play with the sand in ashtray because it was so foreign to me, of course parental supervision ended that quickly.

 

Backpacking here was great, just imagine one of the whitest places on earth at night with the glow of the full moon.. .. . It's probably the brightest natural darkness you can find.

 

This photo was just a spur of the moment idea as much of my is just spontaneous just as much as it is planned. I had the flash in the photobag since I didn't need my regular backpacking pack.
