Imperial Sand Dunes

 

One of the benefits of visiting Slab City was a drive through the Imperial Sand Dunes.

What a playground for dune buggies, and ORV’s.

Located just a few miles East of the Imperial Valley, which is an irrigated oasis growing everything imaginable, they are something to see.  Soaring hundreds of feet high.

I would have loved to own a buggy and get out there, roaring around.  Can only imagine what all that sand does to bearings, chains, and all other mechanical parts, though.

Just another little place I can say “been there”.  Heading toward home.Sad smile
