The area we are staying in has lots of windy days. Normally the wind comes out of the north or northwest. So we do not normally see a lot of sand blowing as our area is mostly small rock and flat except for the “mountains” (approx. 500-1200ft)to the north and east.
About 5 miles to the west of us, and going several miles south and north are the sand dunes. Now this is real sand. On the weekends there up to several hundred rv’s parked out there playing with their various types of off road vehicles.
This afternoon the wind really came up strong out of the west-southwest. This is the first time in all the times over the years that we have been on Sidewinder road that we could not see the “mountains”…..
Plus it got downright cold……wellllllll…o.k. about 55 degrees….but when you are used to 70 plus degrees and sunshine…..well, it is downright cold.
Anyway here are a couple pictures of the “mountains” during the worst of the storm.
Hey…you know we love ya….even when you do not write.
love to ya
Jim and LInda
