Greetings From Alamogordo
Alamogordo (NM), Linen unused

Description:
A beautiful little city situated in a very romantic section of the Old West. It has gone down in history with the Lincoln Co. cattle wars, the escapades of the nearby Apache Indians and the terrifying experiences of the early Spanish settlers and cowboys with highway robbers and cattle rustlers, who would hide out in the then inaccessible White Sands country. Now, Alamogordo is known as the gateway to the Great White Sands and the numerous charming mountain resorts within easy reach, which attract thousands of visitors yearly to enjoy the ideal climate.

By all means, visit the White Sands at sunset! The feeling of mystery, the quietude of the great expanse of snow white sands, the golden sunset turning at its last moments to rose and violet as darkness finally closes in. Then the day is gone, leaving this great bulk of whiteness still visible thru the shades of night.
