According to the dent in my bank statement this trip happened about a month ago; so although we are not discussing current events this thing had to get off to a start somehow. A quick apology to the other two bodies not represented in the photos, but nevertheless a part of the trip. The faces you do see below are from left to right: Lindsay, Jayson, and Phil. Perhaps it is obvious from the map and photos but we are camping at Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park. Just a short weekend trip but a good excuse to get out of Denver for a couple days. The car ride down there and back was a good part of the fun, as with most traveling the destination plays second fiddle to the journey.
Below the dunes maybe don't look all that great, but that is just because you are lacking perspective. 
We are obviously car camping. Phil enjoys a sandwich.
Here is a little perspective. That is Lindsay and Jayson down there like ants. It was quite a thrill playing on the dunes while a thunderstorm rolled around in the nearby mountains. 
It seems like sledding on the dunes might be an exhilarating experience, but in reality the stillness of this photograph is not just a an artifact of the medium. 
That is me on the right. 
On the way home we hiked into a cold cave, ankle deep in ice cold water to view a waterfall. It was pretty neat, but our poor feet were none too pleased with this little excursion. 
A little blurry and overexposed, but you get the idea, right?
That is is for now. Next I will take you up a little mountain, called Bison Peak.
