White Sands National Monument

We got stopped by border control randomly mid New Mexico. They took one look at our camper piled with bikes guitars and a doodle and waved us on.

White sands was pretty cool. We  watched the beloved park video then took a nice couple of short walks. 

Fast fact: white sands is home to the oldest human footprints in North America. Link to ancient footprint info:21000 year old feetsies

Then we went to Three Rivers Petroglyph site which has the largest concentration of petroglyphs in the southwest. 21000+ I narrowed it down to my favorites, but there are a lot of shots.

For the record, I decided that this was either a game that they played like a scavenger hunt at a birthday party or an Easter egg hunt type of thing … Or perhaps it was more like getting tagged and each one of these symbols is somebody’s sign. Either way. It’s super cool 1500 years later.
