Desert Traffic

Heading home after another wonderful camping trip with our friends.
Real life or a commercial for the Ford Explorer?
We ran into some traffic.

Scaling the Dune


Suzana, Scott and Jeffrey make the trek with us. (Harris made it to the top in no time.)
Getting higher. . .

Pau is ready to slide back down. It's windy and pretty sandy - especially if you're close to the ground.
This sand feels so good - your feet just sink into softness.





The view from the top of the dune. So worth the effort.
















Sweet Dune Camping Spot


We found the perfect camping spot, parked the car, and Pau made for the untouched dunes.
Andrés, Harris and Jeffrey were not far behind.

Let's Play!!!!
 


The Road to the Dunes

No more asphalt. Time to deflate the tires to drive on the sand.
These goggles are a too small, but they are to protect little eyes from the sand - it's windy!

The real fun has begun! Notice how the sky looks so pale - that's sand blowing in the wind.
Other-wordly. Sand blowing off the crests of the dunes.

Lauryn showed Pau around.
Andrés enjoyed the party favors.
The lovely birthday girl. She's 4!
