This is my trip to Lake Lucero today with my friend - BGH.
It's the source of the sands at the White Sands National Monument. It is a huge lake. When it rains in the spring and fall, rain wash the mineral from the mountain to Lake Lucero. The water dries and the minerals are crystallized. Wind shear off the crystals and send the gypsum particles to the sand dunes.
As you can see, there are nidus (nidi for plural??) of crystals. Crystals were forming in a cyote's paw print as well as someone's foot print.
Today was the end of the old moon. So, you can still see the moon in the morning sky. It was there until about 11 am.
What's that thing that BGH is holding??
