The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
at Bruneau Dunes State Park in Idaho
August 8 - 9, 2013

Bruneau Dunes State Park had heavy duty wind at night. During the day, the temperature hovered around 100 degrees.

There were two campground areas at Bruneau Dunes State Park. The one show below is the upper area and the two RV Gypsies were the only ones in this area except for the resident manager because they arrived during the week. However, week-ends usually get quite busy. The photos below are different photos of the two RV Gypsies campground site #2 as taken from different areas.

Below: Signs explaining why the dunes are here, why they do not blow away, and how they were formed.

Why Doesn't It Blow Away? The dune is created and maintained by long-term wind patterns. The wind in this area comes from two prevailing directions, approximately 180 degrees apart. The opposing winds keep the dunes in place.
