Dune Bashing!

Mike's latest hobby (obsession!) is dune bashing.  There is a club that takes people out and teaches them how to drive up and down the dunes, out in the various desert areas.  We went with him the first time and I was super nervous about it.  He is driving OUR car within a group of 10 or so cars. There are several very experienced marshals that are in charge and determine the path for all of the cars in the group.  After the first 30 minutes, I realized how safe it is and began to relax and discovered how much fun it is!  The girls just love it.

 After a few dunes, the group stops and chats about it all, getting pointers from the marshals

Love this one

 This was a picture from one of his latest trips.  All of the trips he has taken lately are at 6AM (product of the weather getting HOT!) and so the girls and I have opted to sleep in!
