Blog Basics

The posts we make to the Blog are in the order of most recent first. If you follow every day or so you will see each new post as we publish it. If you catch up once a week you may have to click on the "Blog Archive" below to find a date to start. Just scrolling down from the opening page will only go back a few days or so.

At the bottom of each post is a link to make a comment. We would love to hear your comments or just know you are following along with us. So give it a try. Just click on "comment", select a profile (anonymous will do), you'll need to type in a simple word verification (prevents spammers). BlogSpot is a Google function so if you have a Google account you can select Google as your profile and your name will be automatically entered.

Day 6

We just paid for a third night here in Great Sand Dunes.  Getting ready for another hike but had time to try to post some pictures from our first two days before we head out.  More about today later, but for now hope you enjoy the pictures.

The road into Great Sand Dunes



The arrival at entrance

Campground views. Ellen contemplating hike up the Dunes and
running her mouth about how "easy" it looks






Start of the hike up the Dunes, the tallest sand dunes in North America





Jim leading the way. His best feature- his backside!

Desert sunflowers




The dunes are so vast and you have to zig zag to get to
the top. It is a 700 foot gain in elevation but is somewhat
strenuous because you are already starting out at over 8000 ft from camp.  

Swirls in the drifting sand



Ellen thinking it's not so easy now!

Almost there

At the top!
