Awoke to another beautiful blue sky morning at our BLM dispersed camping site near Carlsbad. Turned the furnace on during the night to keep us a bit warmer than the previous night. Get to try out our new sleeping bag as a comforter tonight.
Packed up and departed westward after a quick stop at walmart for food and supplies. Made good time up into the mountains. Quite a bit cooler up at the 8600 foot pass before coming down past Cloudcroft.
Cindy's first 6% downhill trailer driving experience was a success!
Pulled into white sands national park to spend the afternoon before continuing a bit further to camp a BLM rec area nearby.
A huge kitty litter box!
Back at the beach!
Quick factoid: we are about 85 miles from the trinity site, which is where the first atomic bomb dropped here back in 1945.
