White Sands NP allows pets – so the cats were able to join Nickel and experience their first NP. They made quite a show of running around and playing in the sand. I caught a couple people taking pics of them – and Jim as he tried to get them to listen. We were able to go to the balloon launch, though, they didn’t actually launch. The blew up the balloons, then ‘hopped’ them over a dune, deflated them, and everyone went home. It was a bit disappointing, but still pretty cool, with gorgeous colors against the white sand. We were able to see the largest pistachio in the WORLD! Did a bit of riding (another first for the cats), then went to Carlsband Caverns to round out the trip. We were able to do one of the ranger guided tours (very worth it) and saw the bats exit the cave in the evening. The bats were incredible to see, definitely worth planning the trip for a time when the bats were there. Dalton was deployed and will be serving overseas for a little bit – our thoughts are with him.
