This weekend I went to the dunes with  cianthefur. I get off at 10p, so we didn't arrive until around 1a that night. The campsites at the park were full so we had to go down the road to a private site. The location was pretty cool but there was a group near us that was pretty damn loud until about 2:30a.

We woke up at around 8:30a and started breaking down the camp. We went down to the store to pay for the camp site and we ate at the diner there which was pretty damn good. We went to Alamosa to get water and a few other things before heading to the dunes to get a camp site in the park. Once we were set we went out to the dunes. It was about 1p or so and I went out without shoes on like a dumbass and got blisters between my toes. We went back to the site and I took a nap. I took a lot of amazing pictures such as the sun setting over the dunes and night sky shots, but my SD card messed up and most of those pictures were lost.

On Sunday we woke up and broke down camp. We had our breakfast (MREs) and headed out to the dunes again. This time I was wearing my black combat boots with thick Fox River socks. It was also about 11a or so and the sands weren't nearly as warm. This time we were able to make it up to the second tallest dune (the tallest is too far away) which was a reward for me since the only other time I did that was when the sand was firm after a blizzard. In case you are wondering, walking on sand hurts my back, a lot. On the way down we came across two owl pellets which were pretty interesting.

After all of that we headed back. We got to see the landscape around us this time since it was mid afternoon. The aspen trees were a nice golden color and were nice to look at. Overall, this trip was überfun and I think I have a bit of PDD (Post Dunes Depression). I can't wait for Friday to roll around so I can be with Cian and our ferrets again.
