| The two RV Gypsies took a fun filled
scenic dune buggy ride over glistening valleys, vast hills, and desert atmosphere
- which added up to one of the most fascinating sights one might ever see.
The driver, Wayne, drove up, down and sideways on dunes
that were about 70 feet or more in height. |

|
| ABOVE: Karen Duquette held her camera (not
a cell phone) toward her face without seeing what she was aiming at, and
then held the camera behind her to try and capture Lee. Luckily both photo
shots came out perfectly, as they sat in the parking lot - ready for their
sand dune buggy ride adventure. |

| and away they
went........................ |

Below: The
trees are 50 feet tall, but the two RV Gypsies could
only see the top of the trees. |

Below: The driver, Wayne,
stopped to take a photo - then he drove SIDEWAYS on the
sand dune to the left of the water shown below. |

The driver, Wayne, stopped
now and again to take photos of the two RV Gypsies |
|
Below: This is "Living
on the edge" - all dunes are much bigger and steeper than
shown in the photos. Wayne did some real radical driving as requested
by the two RV Gypsies. |

|
| Below: Just an inkling of the sand that got
blown all over Karen Duquette and her seat. There were times when a big
burst of sand just came pounding into her face. Thank goodness for the goggles. |

| The two RV Gypsies had so much fun yesterday,
so they returned for another day of riding the dune buggy on the sand dunes.
It was a rainy day, and they almost canceled, but decided to go anyway,
so they dressed for the wet weather and bundled up, and guess what - they
did not have any rain during their dune buggy ride, but it did rain again
later that day, on and off. |

|
|
|
| Below: While riding in the back seat, Lee Duquette wanted
to show the wind blowing through Karen Duquette's wind jacket. It was very windy,
and Karen ate a lot of sand. |

This time, Wayne decided to drive the dune buggy to the Pacific Ocean.
It was not as fast or exciting as the day before, but still a lot of fun. |
