Valley of Fires and White Sands Monument 2012-2013
Just returned from the 2012 Valley of Fires and Whites Sands Monument Rally hosted by NM Unit 069 and heavily supported by the Four Corners Unit.
Wow, what a great time!
This thread is to let you know what you missed and create interest in our White Sands 2013 Rally.

Thanks desertair 27! El Paso is too close to White Sands not to take part in next year's rally. This an experience only a handful of humans will ever enjoy.
Della, the Little White Dog was digging in the white sand for an earless white lizard. Her sister Sophie was off-camera doing the same.
