Last weekend some of my friends took me with them to the dunes. This is something that they do very often, and they really have it down to a science. They take a big motor home, and drag a really fast and fun sand rail behind it. Once there they set up camp which was a fun place to hang out. But the real fun was at a big hill that they call competition hill on Saturday.

They loaded up the sand rail early with a couple of easy up tents, folding chairs and coolers of water and other adult beverages. Then we set up a temporary camp near the bottom of the hill and settled in for a great day of people watching.

You wouldn’t believe some of the vehicles that race up and down this huge mountain of sand. It’s not just tricked out sand rails and quads with nerf bars and stuff. It was also full size trucks that had all kinds of truck accessories added to them like big lights, oversize tires, and really tall lift kits. It cracked me up that a bunch of them even had hood ornaments! There were even people on dirt bikes zipping up and down the hill with crazy back tires that they called paddles. I would have to say that all in all it was a fun and interesting trip.
