Monahans Sandhills State Park, New Mexico, May 8

This was an out of the way and very quiet campground, which was great for getting a good night’s sleep. I didn’t rain, but the sky was filled with clouds. The tan of the sand was an interesting contrast to the grey of the sky.

The drifting sand was engulfing the picnic tables and grill stands. The rain from the night before
had groomed the sand leaving a fresh surface for new footprints.

The yucca plants here have a light green blossom instead of the white with which we are familiar.

With the cloudy sky and no street lights this was the first night we had to use our flashlights to trek to the restrooms after dark.
