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 on for even more dune excitement. (They did not
take a dune buggy tour when they were here in 2013 because Karen Duquette's
sister was with them and it was not her thing). |

looked like a dot in the giant sand dune. |

Below: Karen Duquette randomly took photos
without looking through the view finder of her camera 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. She even took some selfies with her big camera. |

Below: 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. |

around the tires of the stuck dune buggy. |

Below: 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. |

was more experienced, and liked to keep an eye on the other two dune
buggies. |

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 Duquette 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. |

Below: 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 below and choosing
