From White Sands, US-70 heads southwest across the Tularosa Valley to LAS CRUCES - "the Crosses" - a large, modern farming community on the Rio Grande at the junction of I-10 and I-25. The town takes its name from the dozens of white crosses set up in the sands to mark the graves of early travelers killed by the Apache, but any real sense of its history is pretty well buried by motels and fast-food franchises.
