The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
at Bruneau Dunes State Park in Idaho
and their first attempt at boarding down sand dunes - so funny!
August 9, 2013

It's a Beautiful Day

Although the two RV Gypsies were told that sand boarding should be done barefoot, the sand was just too hot to be barefoot, so they managed to get the board secured with their shoes on. This is both of their first attempts at sand boarding.

Karen Duquette managed to stand up on the board and tried to slide down one of the smaller sand dunes.

Below: After having a good laugh at Karen Duquette's attempts, it was now time for Lee Duquette to show her how it is done. But he went right into a miniature bush and Karen laughed so hard she could not stop laughing and did not get that photo.

Below: So then the two RV Gypsies made a decision to sit on the board instead of standing up. It worked, but Lee Duquette had to wax the board after each run.

Below: Look at the people in the two photos below, then look at the above panorama to get an idea of how high up the sand dunes they have climbed. Amazing!
