Graceland

The backyard

The family room, aka the Jungle room, which was at one time a patio, but was closed in by Elvis to create the family room

The horse pasture. Yep, horses at Graceland. There are at least 2 there now. They were frolicking in the front yard when we were there.

The back of the house.

The pool.

The whole place is not as big as you would think. It may have been enormous when it was built in 1939. But by today's standards of mansions, it's small. I was rather surprised that it was so small. All the stuff across the street is bigger. And talk about the tourist trap. They like to gouge you around here.

Where are we now?

Guess!

We're down at the end of...

Behind the...

At the RV park on...

Across the street from...

Got it yet?

Yep. We're at GRACELAND!!!

A couple more

Driving through White Sands. Like driving through snow. They even use a grader to clean up the drifts.

Las Cruces from our RV park.

One of the inspection stations along the highways. They just ask where you've been, where you're going and what you're citizenship is.

From Carlsbad to Las Cruces

The flat, brown, dry landscape outside Carlsbad

Then you start going up into the mountains. Not only did the trees change, but there is a ski area outside Alomagordo.

Next you go through a canyon, which includes a tunnel through the mountain.

At one point you get to see the White Sands National Monument. It sticks out like a sore thumb being white in a sea of brown.
