Fire and Ice


As we head for home we made a stop in the Valley of Fires State Park. This area of New Mexico is home to the white sands to the south and an area where the earths surface was shallow enough to allow molten lava to perk up though the crust flowing along the valley floor. The contrast of the lava flow in the valley and the snow capped mountains to the east is stunning. Two years back when we came through we had an ice storm one night, this time it was in the 80's.
