Eureka Dunes

We drove to the Eureka Dunes in Death Valley. Death Valley Road was a bit snowy, but not too bad and we made the trip to the foot of the dunes fairly quickly. The road, despite being dirt for the final part, is very flat and once you get to the base of the dunes there's even an outhouse and picnic tables -- deluxe! As soon as we got there an F-18 buzzed the dunes


With Christa as Zoe-Sherpa, we all headed to what looked like the highest dune peak and hung out for a while.








We jumped off the top





and discovered that Zoe loves to scoot herself down the dunes.

Carrying her back up can be a bit tiring though. As Chloe slid down the dunes next to her, she triggered some of the famous "Booming" noises in the dunes.

From the top, we found a better place to jump and all took turns getting sandy






I landed badly and ended up with an ear full of sand



After a little more Zoe sand scooting, we headed back to the car




On the drive back, the CHP were dealing with a truck that had flipped over in the narrows. The truck was upside down in the ditch. There was snow on the road, so they probably just took the turn too fast.

Back at the Trees Motel, we split up and I headed up to the Buttermilks for a quick session in which I got shut down on Saigon AGAIN.
