White Sands visit

Carol and I decided that the house was capable of taking care of itself without us for a day or two. Accordingly we took a two day trip south to the White Sands National Monument.

We ended up in Truth or Consequences (T or C) NM and stayed at the Blackstone Hot springs Lodging. Great room and a huge bath (ready for two).
Got into the room and went right for the bath. The water came in through a waterfall direct from the springs. Below is a promo from the place. Keep in mind that the town was named after a television game show so in keeping with that concept the rooms were all named after tv stars or shows. We got the "Golden Girls" room but passed on the "Babaloo" room (We thought Desi was a little too much).



As can be seen the interior is what used to be called "Camp" and we rather enjoyed it.

Anyway we had a wonderful bath and sleep. As we get more into the Senior Category, the sleep seems to be of particular interest.

Below are some images I took during that trip.


Dang these sins. See you next time
