This is part of the 'show Jessica and Austin some stuff I have done since they now like hiking' series. I added this to the fail section also, but it really wasn't a fail; more like we could not go along the dune ridgeline because of some really high winds and went around the base of them instead. We still got our 7 mile hike and I think it went ok. Getting 25mph sand blown at you though is not fun and we figured that out pretty quickly once we started to climb the dune. Even on the back side walking along the base we were hit pretty hard with wind and sand so it's good we decided to do that instead of trying to go up top and tough it out. That would not have ended well. We will go again some other time and go the short way up and down just to get that taken care of.
