The dunes at White Sands National Monument aren’t formidable. They don’t cause a quick gasp of breath the way Great Sand Dunes National Park do. But they are one of our favorite places that we have visited.

I remember my first national park: it was Big Bend National Park and I was a junior in college. It was the beginning of my lifelong passion for the outdoors. But years later, national parks and I have a love/hate relationship.

I have to admit, recycling on the road is a pain in the butt. This is a common complaint we’ve heard from everyone who lives on the road: where can we go to recycle? This post will share how we find recycling centers - an attempt to make recycling on the road just a tad bit easier for you.

Whenever I think of the desert, the word empty finds its way to my tongue. I find it to be an empty and desolate landscape. Then I worry about how long I can last in it - the lack of trees, of greenery, of water. The things I’m used to having around me.

On our drive from Salida to Crestone, Jerud pointed out the sand dunes to me; from afar you could see the land turn smooth at the foot of the mountains. I was very excited to see the Great Sand Dunes and knew it would be a unique experience. But I wasn’t prepared for how spellbound I would be by them.
