Hi folks, I'm back in Germany.
Unfortunately, the lodge had no opening hours when I was there.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and I have no help needed.
An experience I had one scare though.
We were in a canyon in the Franklin Mountains where we were looking for a geocache when our car locked automatically.
Everything was in the car, also the keys.
Luckily I had my cell phone in my pocket and we could get help.

Unfortunately I had forgotten my password meantime.
The note with the password was safe in Germany.
I wrote to the administrator and asked for help, but never answered.
By an administrator, I expect more, especially when it is a brother.
Ultimately, I am to blame, since I was the one who had forgotten his password.

I visited the White Sands Missile Range and other things, but the White Sands National Monument was the greatest.

It was very nice there and I had a good time.

I'm a lantern collectors.
Unfortunately I only found a single lantern which was for sale.

The owner thought that it is made of gold and was a very high price for it.
Since I have not won the lottery, this great piece had to stay in the country.
So I had no lantern, which reminds me of my visit to the U.S..

I am grateful that I was able to visit this great country.

Regards, Jan Leopard.

What a great thread to read. I'm so glad you've had a great time in our country. The pictures are awesome! You've gotten to experience a part of my own country that I have yet to go to. Please continue to update us on your travels :)

Hello.

Thanks for the praise.
Since I am now back in Germany, I can only post some pictures and tell some of my impressions.

In Alamogordo, we had a typical American breakfast.
So far, I knew that's only on TV.

So I sat there and hoped that some police officers come in and eat donuts.
But that did not happen unfortunately.

The breakfast was really delicious.
In Germany we have a saying:
"Love goes through the stomach."
This was the beginning of a great love ...

In El Paso I then did something that most Americans would probably never do.
I was several times in one day in Mexico.
How is that possible, you can see in the images below.

Right on the border stands a monument.
Where the border of Mexico meets with the Rio Grande.

The Border Patrol is everywhere and watching.
With their permission, I was on the other side and took this picture.
Since I raced around the monument, I can not tell you how many times I was in Mexico!

Greetings, Jan

Hah. I didn't know that was even there. If I ever pass by I'll definitely stop so I can run back and forth between the US and Mexico a few times.
