Before we actually got to San Diego, we stopped outside Yuma to see the sand dunes there. The temperature there was about 115 degrees and the dunes are pretty big. A few movies have been filmed here.
When I (Theodore) got out of the car to walk up the dunes, I only had on flip-flops. My brother and I started to walk up the nearest dune, and we discovered that the sand was really hot.
Really really hot. It was actually pretty painful, so Nathaniel and I decided to go back and get shoes. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiveMAB8mMjLldrNxMgWWdU9QU4-urFDBdShbVpJJDYj8-cfqW3KVo-ANICK7u6OSJaIsISuI3Jhcy-lCG9ReavHp6t1tJ2gm6QLXQCfhU1UuvNVAMd9PaY-7iZZ52dYkyvMQ8xj1Lw7g9Q/s320/2010-07-16+14.15.39.jpg)

Those are incredible dunes - you all look like you're in the desert.
ReplyDeleteWhat a trip. You've literally gone from sea to shining sea by two means of transportation - not bad for 10 days. What's the route for the return trip. Does the Skamper swim?
The sand dunes look so great, but I couldn't take that heat. Looks like you are having a great adventure. Marj
