Through our church, Jackie and I are involved
in a camp for foster children. I an effort to raise funds
for this camp, our church holds an auction every year and the
past two years we have offered a trip to the dunes. This
year Rodney and his family "won" our trip. We had great
hopes that this would go better than last year's trip did, since
we managed to blow the engine last year! Well, this year's
trip was a lot of fun. While not all of his family could
make it, his son Mitchell and Mitchell's friend Austin really
seemed to enjoy themselves. They kept asking me to JUMP
more! :)
In an interesting twist, Austin's parents work
at the property where our camp is held. Austin had helped
our group of kids when they went on a horse drawn wagon ride and
we recognized each other! |

Rodney and the kids got the
"whole meal deal". We got stuck, the weather was
beautiful, the weather turned cool, the wind was calm, the wind
was blowing hard, we had some minor mechanical problems, and we
saw lots of interesting vehicles. We saw the huge "dune
buggy" with about 20 passengers and we saw the huge tow truck
(below), pulling out a rental buggy. Probably the most
interesting rig we saw was a pick-up. It was not even
close to stock! It looked like it was set up for the Baja
500. Lots of power and amazing suspension! Wow!
It was a great day!
