The two RV Gypsies took their third fun-filled scenic dune buggy ride over glistening valleys, vast hills, and desert atmosphere - which added up to one of the most fascinating adventures they may ever experience. The driver drove up, down and sideways on dunes that were about 70 feet or more in height, and then out onto the beach, and then more dune excitement.

A yellow, bigger dune buggy ahead looks like a dot in the giant sand dune.

Karen Duquette randomly took photos without looking through the view finder in the hopes of getting decent pictures, which she did. The dune buggy went at a fast pace and made sudden turns, often being sideways on a dune. The ride was mostly bouncy so the camera could not be held still. Karen just pointed the camera in all directions and snapped photos. They came out okay.

There were two other dune buggies out today. The blue one got stuck in the sand and the other two drivers had to stop and help.

While stopped, the driver photographed the two RV Gypsies (and the other passenger) in the dune buggy. Then it was forward to the beach, and the driver took a few more photos.

The driver of the orange dune buggy was more experienced, and liked to keep an eye on the other two dune buggies.



Time to eat the sand!	Looking down the steep dune at the yellow dune buggy.

The driver for the two RV Gypsies did not follow the other dune buggies. He often went higher and steeper into the dunes, and then headed towards the other dune buggies, which allowed Karen the opportunity to get great shots of the other dune buggies. The dunes are very tall and the dune buggies looked like toys in the sand.



Again, notice the small dots in the sand. The dots are really the blue and the yellow dune buggies.





This was actually the two RV Gypsies, third time ridding dune buggies at this sand dune. The first time was back in May 2009. The two RV Gypsies liked it so much that they took a second tour the very next day. Those photos can be found here, or by using the TOC button above and choosing the letter D, then scrolling down.
