Margreth Keiler suggested an overnight trip to White Sands National Monument; how about the weekend of Friday June 19 - Sunday June 21 (dates TBD - Tom suggested to do it in a 2-day trip though some people might want to make it 3-day). Please sign up here so we know who's going.
There is a Dunes Drive and also walks (marked trails) with spectacular scenery.
Also: If you have a car, please let us know. The more cars, the more people.
Note: Cars aren't "assigned", the seats are just so we know if we have enough space.
