If there’s one tourist place we’ve visited more than any during our mission, it’s probably the Imperial Sand Dunes. We were last there in February, and before that on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even back in June, July, and August. But it’s a thing, and all the new missionaries want to experience it. Out we went.
Today it was really windy– I’m guessing 20mph or more. That’s not a good combination with so much sand. It’s a really fine sand, which feels wonderful on feet but not so good when it’s blowing in your eyes. And tongue.
No matter. The missionaries loved it.
We snowboarded (err, sandboarded) down the steepest dune for a while, complained about the hike up, watched the side-by-sides zipping around in the distance, sat and chatted, and eventually decided it was time to head home.
Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, it’s always a good time with these yahoos.
