The Imperial Sand Dunes

What a totally awesome weekend we had. Our friends were nice enough to invite us out to the Dunes this weekend to try out dome quading in the Dunes. We had a fabulous time. We drove up Friday night, and got there so late that we ended up just sitting by the fire until both of the boys put themselves to sleep. I kid you not, they both asked to go to sleep. By morning, the wind had picked up to the point that it was practically flattening the tent all together. It was crazy. You couldn't go outside without having a face mask and ski goggles on for protection. Zane thought that was pretty awesome. By mid afternoon the wind had died down enough that we got to start playing in the sand, and riding the quads and the jeep. We went to a place called "the hill" which was insane. It is the highest hill in the dunes, about 300 feet straight up. People meet in droves at the bottom of the hill and TRY to make it to the top. A lot of people fail and have to turn around, or slide down the hill. We went to the top, and it was so cool, scary, and fun, did I mention scary? Here are some pics from the weekend.

This is the tent taking a beating, and then the after effects with all the sand in the tent.

That looks like fun. Well, except for the sand in the tent part. Yikes.
