Great Dunes

Would you believe there are sand dunes in New Mexico as big as the Sahara? It blew my mind. Great big dunes of Gypsum, not the normal sand, from a lakebed nearby. The dunes cover thousands of acres, and they move and shift in the wind. The plants that survive there are the ones that can grow faster than a dune can move. Pretty wierd.

It's called White Sands National Monument, which is kind of like a national park, just not as many services. Today's Rangers were Ranger Tirzio and Ranger Flo. They were really glad to pose for me, and one of them found their ranger cap.

When we got deep into the dunes, we found families playing. Some were sliding down the dunes, others building sand castles. I got to pose in the dunes and go on the boardwalk to look at plants. For once, Daisy was allowed everywhere. When she was photographed, she disappeared in the white sand. Good thing she has a black nose.

It was a really fun day. By the way, I really like Carl. He says "Hello bear" whenever he sees me.
Be sure to watch our movie!
