Jocelyn is now a blogger. She hasn’t written much yet but I suggest we bug her until she does. Heather also has a blog and she writes fairly regularly. In fact most of the people in my family have blogs. Donna has one. Richard has one. Robin has one. Even Lauren has a website very similar to a blog. Mom’s isn’t really a blog but it’s more than just a web page with pictures. It’s actually quite interesting for the genealogicly inclined.
Glamis is a REALLY LARGE sandbox. Pismo Beach is a pile of sand next to Glamis. We were there for 2 days and only saw a fraction of the place. On one of our rides I was leading, Jeremy was behind me and Scott was behind him. I went over a hill that Jeremy didn’t want to try so he stopped while I kept going. It took me a few minutes to realize they weren’t following anymore and when I did I headed back.
I couldn’t find them. I rode around for the next 15 minutes and didn’t see them. I stopped a few times at the tops of hills and looked around but no luck. I finally decided I should head back for 2 reasons. One, it isn’t a good idea to be alone in the dunes and two, I wanted to make sure they were ok and camp was where they would go first.
When I got back they were sitting in front of the trailer. Seems they had realized we were separated about the same time I did and drove to the tops of a few hills looking for me. When they couldn’t find me they also decided camp was the best idea.
We’ve been to Pismo many times and we’ve never “lost” each other. It’s just not big enough and the sand isn’t high enough. We decided the only reason to go to Pismo is the weather. I don’t think we’ll be going to Glamis in the middle of the summer. We were there in November and the temperature was in the low to mid 80s. It also takes about twice as long to get to Glamis.
There are a few other dunes we’d like to try. There’s Dumont out by Baker and Sand Mountain in Nevada. So much sand and so little time.
You guys each need to carry a walky-talky and a GPS, so you can find your way to each other and back to camp.

I had my GPS with me but he doesn’t have one. As for walkie-talkies we really don’t need them as our cell phones have coverage out there. That was kind of surprising to me.
