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: On Karen Duquette's
first try and she ended up flat on her back and on her second try and
she ended up face down in the sand. |

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: Karen Duquette decided
it was time to move to a bigger hill. But Lee Duquette did not want
to, so he took movies, not photos. |

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! |
