Visit to Texas...Part 2

After we poked around White Sands National Monument for a while we headed over to the White Sands Missile Range. This was definitely very interesting.  It is crazy to read about the missiles they have created and tested here included the atomic bomb.  They also did some early rocket launching from this site too.

They had a display outside of several different missiles and information about them.  It really was very interesting.

The same type of casing the atomic bomb was put in that was dropped over Japan

I enjoy taking pictures of animals if you have not guessed already.  I like the challenge.

This one is for you dad...a water tower.  Sorry the picture is not too great because we were in the car but I thought you would like it.

Next we went to the town Mesilla, NM where Billy the Kid was tried and sentenced to death.  However, he escaped.  It had a very interesting "Old West" feel to the town still.

The building where his trial was held

Across the street was the jail

On our way back to the house

Driving through the mountains instead of around them this time.

The conclusion of our trip coming soon.....
