Desert Rescue Rangers

This morning one of Bill's coworkers called and asked if we would come pull them out of the sand at the Singing Sand Dunes . He along with his pregnant wife and children ages 2 and 3 had gone out to do some dune bashing and were stuck in the sand. Bill, Cole and I got ready, borrowed a tow rope and shovel and started out for the dunes. Granted, we had never been there and really weren't sure how to get there and the main road going that direction was under major construction with closures and diversions. It took us a very frustrating 3 hours to locate them. They were extremely glad to see us. Fortunately, they had snacks and water and an air conditioned vehicle to sit in. But, I am sure it was pretty scary. They had been stuck for a total of 5 hours by the time we got there.

The sand dunes were awesome. Cole said they didn't even look real.....they looked computer generated. We will definitely make a trip out there with our family one day, but after our experience today, we will be going with a professional guide.
