AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on RUclips are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!
I'm so, so sorry for your loss, Kristy. I know how it hurts. I've lost my parents, my husband, my daughter and like you, even my dog. There are no words. But my thoughts are with you both. Hang in there, and please give yourself time. Don't worry about us. We'll be here when you're able to come back.
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
One of my favorite places to visit. Pitched a tent, full moon and stars on a clear night is just unbelievable
This video captured not only the beauty and serenity of nature, but a sense of the loss you were experiencing. Thank you for sharing it. Grieving such a significant loss takes time. I hope being in nature and knowing people care helps.
If someone is a member of the Elks, there is a great lodge with RV hookups in Alamagordo. Have stayed there several times with our 5th wheel. Sorry to hear about Kristi's mom.
The range shuts down the highway for short times. If you do get stuck you might get rewarded with a show!!!!!!
The range usually will let you visit the missile farm.
The V2 display building is usually open too.
My condolences on your loss, especially sudden. I pray for your healing and consolation.
I grew up near White Sands, were often went there once or sometimes twice a year to spend the day picnicking sand sledding. Usually in summer, when you have to arrive early to get a covered table. Our sleds were flattened cardboard boxes we waxed down with Gulf Wax. The discs are a "new" thing. 😄
Your in my stomping grounds. Been to White Sands many times. They have full moon nights. Oliver Lee State Park is good. Too hot for me in summertime.
My condolences Kristy on the loss of your mom. May her memory be a blessing.
So sorry for your loss, Kristy. What a beautiful calm and serene place to visit. Thank you for sharing and being so open with your audience
We were there this past March. The temperatures were ideal, but there was considerable wind. Even though we had sunglasses, the wind kicked up fine particles and eventually irritated our eyes. Fortunately we had some non-chemical eye drops from Whole Foods, and that helped a lot. BTW, the secret for a good slide is to repeat the same place you just went down, and find the steepest incline possible.
Kristi, may your memories of your mother be with you each and every day. I was happy to see you went back to Andale's in Mesilla...it's a favorite. White Sands is just beauty is so many ways. Also in the area, I would suggest a visit to the Space History Museum in Alamogordo, Three Rivers Petroglyphs just up Hwy. 54, Sunspot Solar Observatory up in the Sacramento Mountains east of the Park, and, of course, my home area, Cloudcroft. To be able to play in the sand and then go for a great hike or to Bluff Springs where you can see where the spring comes out of the mountain makes for a great day. Happy and safe travels!
We are sorry for the loss of your mother. We are close to your parents age(77) and I cried with your Dad. We are so tied together that I can’t imagine his pain when she passed. It is hard even now to think of it….GR. We have been watching your life together on RUclips since your wedding and we feel your joy and pain. Press on!!! We are with you.
Thank you so much! We’re all having a hard time, but especially my dad. My parents were married for almost 61 years. 💔
We camped with our trailer at Oliver Lee State Park near White Sands, it is a lovely park with a historical ranch house and some hiking trails into the nearby mountains. We also combined this with a trip to Three Rivers Petroglyphs sites and also Bosque del Apache wildlife refuge...makes a great trip! Thank you for a quiet, peaceful video, and I'm so sorry for your loss, Kristy. I hope this trip helped in your grieving process.
We are very sorry for your loss. 😢
We visited White Sands NP late October 2021. It still had Nat'l Monument signs up. Such a surreal & peaceful place. We pulled our trailer through as you guys did. Thanks for the sunset views! Happy Trials again.
Sorry, I meant happy trails.
Hey Kristi, I am terribly sorry to hear about your Mom. I lost mine six years ago on my birthday of all days, so wasn't the birthday phone call I expected. Hang in there kiddo! Oh, when it comes to doing the sled thing, you're no Clark Grizwold but that's probably a good thing. 😁
Sorry for your loss. I hope your healing will be quick. Never forget her and always let thoughts of her run through your mind and heart.
So sorry for your loss. R.I.P. Christy’s mother. God bless. Beautiful video
Love the sun sets at White Sands.
Great content. sotty for your loss. YOUR BE IN OUR PRAYERS! have a blessed week!
A peaceful place to heal after loss of a loved one. There is very good boondocking adjacent to White Sands at Holoman Lake Dispersed Camping. Just minutes from the entrance. We camped there in our 28’ Airstream in March 2023.
.
I have ridden by White Sands NP on my motorcycle when we made a trip to Alamogordo - I wish we would have been able to stop and see it.
Now that you posted this video, I am taking my travel trailer on a road trip to here later this year. (2021 Grand Design, Imagine 2670 MK)
Thank you for the awesome review.
We visited White Sands on New Years Day 2023. A few more people than what you found. As a retired military couple, we were able to stay at the White Sands Missile Range FamCamp. The winds were terrible at 40 mpg and very cold.
The Trinity Atomic Bombing site at White Sands has two open house days each year. The next one is October 21, 2023.
We visited with friends in May of '21. Stayed in an RV park in Las Cruces. Drove to the park for the day. Lots of wind. I told everyone that the white sand was missile exhaust from all the test firings!!!
Great Video! we visited White sands Dec 2022 what a surreal place! one of my favorites there is a small Nat Forest Service campground to the west off of US70 Acquire Springs campground, there are some sites big enough for a smaller Travel trailer, Boondocking only. It has fantastic views as it is up on the Organ mountains. as always I enjoy your Thoughtful videos!
Healing from tragic family events is getting outside yourself which White Sands compels. Wish I had brought a snow saucer, snow shoes to climb the dunes and trust my wild teenage German Shepherd off leash. 3:29
Sorry for your loss😢,we were there back in 2010. I’m guessing I emptied my shoes three times that day!😊
So sorry for your loss, Kristy It is so painful, i know. Mine was 49.
The sand kinda sticks to you, though, doesn't it?
Yes went in summer and was wonderful. Sand was cool to touch walked barefoot with great pleasure . Loved it
Another secret to visiting White Sands NP is also to take a trip into the mountains to the town Cloudcroft, NM and enjoy the best pizza and beer in all of New Mexico.
Thanks, we will check it out!
One of my favorite October hikes is the Alkali Flat Trail there at White Sands. I would highly recommend that hike if you return, not too difficult, and a much more immersive experience. It will take you away from the developed areas to surround you completely in white dunes for an almost out of world experience.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful heartfelt video❤
So sorry about ur mother; park was much nicer than we expected! Thanks!
No, I didn't know, until just now and with the music, the video seemed like a tribute of sort, to your mom's memory. May God bless you both and your sweet mom too. May our memories live with us of better times in the past we spent with those we loved and who left us too soon, now awaiting our arrival patiently on the other side of life. Very sorry for your loss.
We were there this past March. Amazing place but I didn’t do as well as Kristy on the saucer!😊
I’m so sorry for your loss- I think there is nothing that helps with the grieving process except time (that’s been my own experience anyway). ❤
sorry Kristi. i feel for you. i lost my dad a couple months ago. it's hard 😢
I’m sorry for your loss. Yes, losing a parent brings on a grief that is unlike any other. You’ve just got to take it one day at a time.
May you be blessed. This video was serene, such a gift during loss.
We visited in February 2022 and it was shorts and T-shirt weather.
I am so sorry for your loss I know she had to be a wonderful woman because she made a wonderful daughter.
Kristy so sorry for your loss we too are familiar with your pain praying for your comfort and peace ❤
The only tunnel in New Mexico is at Cloudcroft.
Sorry for your loss and White Sands was probably a perfect spot to relax with the peace and quiet......Stay strong!
The Las Cruces KOA is wonderful.
Great timing on this video, we leave for White Sands on Friday from Houston. Sending love and condolences for Kristy.
Bring your mast and antenna, because K-0970 doesnt have allot of trrees
Sorry to hear about your mother.
Prayers to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss. We did see 117A’s fly around when we were there.
Kristy & Sean, there are no words that can be spoken or penned that brings comfort this soon after a loss. Only time and memories can do that. You are in our hearts and prayers.
Sorry for your loss Kristy hugs to you and your family 💝 at this time of healing!!
Some very beautiful shots. Sad to hear about your mother.😥
My condolences.
I am sorry for your loss it very hard but my the Lord Jesus give you strength.
Sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We were at White Sands about 6 weeks ago and we’re totally amazed. It definitely isn’t what we expected, but turned out to be a highlight of our travels. Watching little kids slide down the hills was fun, the ride is nice because it’s all so different in its own way, and we were in 7th heaven taking photos.
We never made it to the missile museum, but in your video my husband saw the missile he worked on in the Air Force.
White Sands is not far from the Trinity test site for the atomic bomb test.
Very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She sounds like a wonderful special person 😢
I’m very sorry for your loss. White Sands looks like a very peaceful place. 🙏🏼💕
Beautifully done video and Kristy so sorry for your loss
First, so very sorry for the loss of your mom, Kristy. I did a photo workshop there a few years back….absolutely a photographers paradise. Check with the park about getting in early for sunrise. Also a Tracking GPS is a must! It is SUPER EASY to be disoriented by the white dunes.
Oh man, I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.
we were there last year and yes wow safe travels may her memory allways be a blessing
Sorry for your loss , she will always be with you in your heart .
So sorry for your lost! Stay strong! My prayers are with you!
I'm sorry for your loss Kristi. I loss my Mom 10 years ago suddenly.
Great information and looks like a neat place to explore.
So sorry to hear about a lost family member. I lost my younger brother two weeks ago. He was only 56. Leaves you feeling very empty. Prayers for strength and good memories.
Love your videos and your tips and ideas are always the best. Thanks and happy travels.
I hope you found some peace at the park on your visit to my neighborhood. I see the sands everyday from the east mountains, Sacramentos.
Full moon night in the summer, late night park organized bike rides 2x a year, we have done. Ranger’s hikes too. Walking barefoot in the sands can be done but really barks up the feet and irritating to me.
In September, balloonists gather here before they go to ABQ first weekend in October. Water is very important if you hike or bike. People have lost their lives by water omission- warning! You did have good weather, winds pick up and the skies and mountains are obliterated, visibility gone. Storm watching in summer is spectacular, watch for lightening though.
Kite flying 👍. Drones 👎🏻 (USAF)
Last, sledding not so good after summer rains.
Condolences On your mom’s passing.
Sorry for the sad news. Stay strong my friends.
amazing video. I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔
We boondocked down the road a few miles at Holloman Lake. We were there last week.
How crowded was the camping there? We'll be there early next week.
@@kenvalliere7906 There were about 10 camper units. Many were vans.
Dispersed camping, first come, first served, next to Holloman AFB. Sunset, sunrise. Star gazing. Watching usaf do their thing 24/7.
THE PISTACHIO FARM WAS A COOL VISIT AND TOUR.
Sorry for your loss. Prayers for family. 🙏🏻
Thanks! This is one of two National Parks in the western United States that my wife and haven’t visited yet. Keep saying “next year” and it hasn’t happened yet. This year we are going to the other one we haven’t been to (Teddy Rosevelt). Maybe next year.
So sorry for your loss.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for the tips.
So sorry for your loss. Just know she is with god.
Sorry for your loss Kristy. Beautiful park, thank you for the video.
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for this video. We went to White Sands in February, it was warm and the sand was cool... It was really amazing. Thanks for taking us back . We do want to go back and visit again.
Beautifully edited. Felt like a tribute to Kristy's dear mother, may she RIP. Tragic loss for sure. I loved the video. Thanks, lovely couple. 🌹🌹🌹
Stationed at Holloman AFB in the early 80's. White Sands is really beautiful. Actually was sent to the northern area for work a few times a week and that area has no dunes but is flat and water from the rains stands on top of the gypsum for a long time. Enjoyed your video. Sorry for the loss of your mother.
You should have used the non-stick additive Clark Griswold used in Christmas Vacation.
May God bless you with good memories of your mother as he eases your grief.
It was nice of Clark to make a brief cameo in our little video 😀
We visited both the National Park and the Missile Museum.
They had me go through an extensive security check.... it is on missile range obviously.
Self guided but worth the time and effort.
1500 miles away from all that sand...yet my eyes are still teary. Beautiful and thoughtful music. Very respectful. I am so sorry for your loss.
So for your loss and condolence to the family and friends.
So sad that you lost your mom. Last time I drove through White Sands Park was following closely behind a Semi Truck that I could barely see the tail lights for the blowing sand. The howling winds of a full sandstorm.
Very Nice, thank you!!!
Sorry to hear about this bad news.
I'm sorry for your loss! Prayers to your family.
Yes. I too am sorry for your loss. It's not easy.
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm sorry for your loss and an unexpected loss seem harder or it did for me. Thank you for taking me along to White Sands it is truly beautiful and amazing. Ya'll stay safe
So sorry for you loss! Love your videos
