Jo finally came to visit!











Well, we finally got her here. After coming to NM these last few years Dave's Mom, Jo, came to visit. Thanks for driving so far to see us. We had a great week showing her the area. We went to: White Sands (my favorite NM place), Chloride (an old mining town that is being refurbished and has an excellent museum, the Geronimo museum in T or C, the quarry and fossil hunting. We also took her to see an old friend in Kingsman and on to the top of Emory Pass. Yup, I think we sent her home tired.

Trip One

White Sands.....Like No Place Else on Earth

Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Here, great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert and created the world's largest gypsum dune field.

Lin rented a disc to slide down the sand. It was fun. Jo did it too! She is an amazing 80 years young. We love you Jo!
