Hello everyone! I have been having a great time on my trip. The states that I have been to right now are: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico, and now, we are in Arizona, the Grand Canyon state!!!
White Sands National Monument is my favorite place so far! You can go sledding, which i did; you can run up the mountains of sand and it feels nice. It’s much softer than the regular sand at any beach, and I like it that way. We also did a Junior Ranger booklet! The weird thing about White Sands is that it’s not near an ocean. It was made by gypsum from the mountains. The dunes are moving constantly, caused by the wind. We also did a really tiring hike.
Also while we were in New Mexico, Dad, Elliot, and I did a HUGE hike and we didn’t even do the whole thing but we did close. It was three miles there and three miles back. The whole hike would be five and a half miles there, and then back. Three miles doesn’t seem very long, but it is when you’re talking about REALLY steep hills, almost always going up, and even the way back was tough because it was really steep down. When Dad, Elliot, and I got home– RV home– all of us three were SOOOOO tired.
By the way, we are going to the Grand Canyon right now!!! On a train!
