Just off North White Sands Boulevard, on West 10th street in Alamogordo is this amazing water tower. I have never seen anything like this - a water tower with what seems like the bottom of its legs cut off! It is just on the west side of the railroad tracks, but I don't believe that it was used for water for steam engines. It was the funniest thing to see when I first spotted it.
We camped in Oliver Lee campground, a New Mexico State campground for two nights, and then we were scheduled for two nights camping in White Sands National Monument, but get this, there was a Missile test on one night on the White Sands Missile Range, so we could only camp in the dunes for one night. We had to hike in about three-quarters of a mile carrying everything we would need for out overnight stay. What an amazing experience to be among the white dunes at night. More on that in my next post.
