Hollomon AFB & the Scenic Triangle

Holloman AFB is a few miles from to the Monument. We were able to worship at the base chapel this morning before going to the White Sands Monument Visitors Center. From Hollomon, after church, we drove north to Tularosa and then experienced the scenic triangle: Ruidosa, Hondo, and Carrizo. On our way back to Alamogordo, we noted the amazing scenery with its striking contrast between green mountains and barren high-desert areas.

Jerry went went into a field with some trepidation for the train-on-trestle photo. The rattlesnake season is here!

The pack horses are unique in our experience. Each animal was carrying a full load of something. Maybe it was ore? After a long day of driving, it was back to Las Cruces for one more night. We hope to return for a longer stay next fall.
