Disolving Stitchesdis

El Paso and the White Sands

The next goal of my trip was El Paso, which lies at the western end of Texas to the border with Mexico. The first stop was the ' Border Patrol Mus eum ' which highlights the work of the Grenzpatroulien to Texas. There were older / obsolete passenger seat, uge like an old Willies Jeep, a helicopter, an airplane, a snowmobile (which work on sand also awarded ) and a Pontiac Firebi about the Project Roadrunner. Interesting were also found / seized articles of the smugglers who aren also a usgestellt w . Since employees trust me the matter had to be, I asked one of them, if I use my visa without any problems across the border to Ciudad Juarez and could go back. A trip to Mexico seemed to be exciting, but I had no desire to at the end can no longer enter the United States. because the woman I asked her to help me could not, they drew a colleague for help, which discouraged me very strongly of my project, since Juarez since s ranking d it to hazardous ichsten cities in the world with 130 murders per 100,000 leads. Since then the police themselves often involved with is, one should not count on their support. So I put it on me in a different way and gave up this trip. Instead, I looked better in downtown El Paso. The town is mainly on the direct border with Mexico very lively and interesting, which is not to be confused with good. At the border, countless shops and street traders selling, in which they sell all sorts of junk, which turns g roßteil but is footwear, clothes and handbags. But when you see the prices (Jeans from $ 7) you can imagine, however, the quality of the goods. On the sidewalks is a similar sentiment in Germany on the market Sunday. After about 2 hours I had seen enough and the commotion I was also slowly zuvi l. Since my cousin, who always tell me again via e-mail with Reiset ips supplies, the mountain was 'Mount Cristo' as Earth had recommended speed, I'm on to visit them. The mountain is not very high, and climb through his long, are very shallow way good. After about 45 minutes afloat em march, I came without much effort s on top of. From the view was incredible. Because of the clear weather, I had the feeling to see all of Texas and Mexico can be. The descent took a bit longer because I still visit the did something off the main track situated icons. When I search for a total of about 2 hours hiking trip back to the car arrived it was time to select the next target. In El paso aroused my interest any more, so I drove to Alamogordo in New Mexico. The 5,000 Seelenort not, however, was my deinstallation goal but rn about the 30km ' White Sands ' which were also recommended to me by my cousin. Since it was almost 18.30 clock and I after all the running around and then, thanks to some jams 3 hour car ride was pretty exhausted, I looked for a motel and put the National Monument to tomorrow's to-do- list. On nÄ next morning when I arrived in the desert, I realized that I was not too much was promised. The Great Park is partly navigable, which is also necessary, since otherwise at the end of his strength Währe, would get even before the first real dune face. The first stop I made on 'Dune Life Natural Trail, a nearly 2 km long marked trail through a part of the desert with relatively lush vegetation. At a distance of 1-200 meters were repeatedly display boards along the way, which provided some background on flora undFauna. In particular, the survival tactics of the plants were to get interesting. The 'soaptree Yuccas' for example, is growing so fast that it stays above the dune. Siht is a 1m high Yucca on a 10m high dune, we see therefore a 11m tall plant. Does the next dune, the plant is doomed to die because she is too big to to support themselves. It collapses and enters. The next stop I put on 'Interdune board Walk' a, which showed almost the same thing, only with the difference that you are not on the sand was running, but a wheelchair just gave pier in the dunes. If one of the first th, much longer and more interesting trail is already gone, you can actually save the board walk. Well I went to the 'Heart of the Sands', the most convenient in the dunes area, which is accessible to the public. There you can walk around in the sand, where the feet bear. The vegetation there is much rarer, because the landscape here changed too quickly. The committing of the dunes was much easier than I had imagined. On the flat side of the dunes of gypsum sand is so hard that it leaves no footprints. Assuming, however, too close to the edge, but the sand is so soft that it is difficult to keep on top because you immediately pocketed up to 40cm and stumble into the device. After a while I was walking around in the sand, it was time for a change. Therefore, I make my way to about 50km away, 'White Sands Missile Ranch, a racquet development and test center and museum. There were dozens of different military missile issued among others systems that I had to do WHILE my military time and a V2. After I had seen all that under some time pressure (on Sunday, the museum closes at 15 ° ° Clock), I went to Roswell (known from the alleged UFO crash 1956) write from where I am now the Post. For companies, it was when I arrived, unfortunately too late, but I have all day tomorrow so time to me to be watching Alien museums.
So then, on another occasion
