After many years of driving past this place when I was in the military, I finally got the chance to go ride the dunes, in Southern California, Glamis to be exact.

 

Here are some pictures.

Sweet Pics and Vids Cleatus, now I know where youve been keeping yourself lately, cant say as I blame you though, that looks like a total blast!!! Im so jealous.

Thanks Deli, I would be on here gaming with you all every night like old times, I just have a lot on my plate at the moment. I just took a new job with the same company and have a lot of work ahead of me. I am an Instructor now. lol I can't believe I am actually going to teach people how to work on airplanes.

 

Anyway this trip was the first for me in many years. It was great to not see a T.V. or the internet for 5 days.

 

It was so much fun. I could never explain how awesome that place is. It's just something you would have to experience for yourself to understand.

sweet, looks like a lot of fun !!!

hey bro great to see your still having fun

come around more

looks like u had a great time

I bet the weather was absoulutly beatiful....Long drive, though it looks like it was worth it. Aren't there "dunes" in Midland-Odessa?

That looks fun.

Yes the weather was great 70 for highs and low 40's for lows. Yes there are dunes in Midland Odessa, actually its Kermit but Glamis is the Mecca of Sand Dunes, so thats where we decided to go.

 

It was just over 1300 miles one way, took us 21 hours to get there and 22 to get back. But over all it was definitely worth it. If I had the time off and the means to do it again, I would load up tonight and head out there again.

that looks like a lot of fun!

i knew i should have went but im glad the trip went well for you! it looks like so much fun! mind if i borrow a set of paddles ?
