65.7 Sand Dunes Galore and an occasional flow of water to keep cool as we recall the recent past.

  That we don't forget our experiences (blessings) out in the wilderness, we continue to remember some moments from photographs selected at random.    Smooth at Big Dunes, Nevada. Looks like a pip-squeak down below. Not quite dunes but still in the valley alongside them...Death Valley, California. Jen appears to be over the hill. We awoke to this early morning scene...much sun and freezing air...in White Sands, New Mexico. The previous evening, Jen went for a run on the dunes with her 'dude', before settling in her tent. A time for aqua as we switch to Colorado. Death Valley in winter. Stretching it out in Utah, close to sunset.   Jen gets out of the sun and develops color-blindness within Antelope Canyon from the lake approach.
