took a little jaunt down to the sand dunes (san luis valley) for some backpacking this last weekend. what a crazy place. supposedly all of that sand blew back into that nook on the eastern edge of the valley of its own accord. it just blew in there, stacked up, and there it lies. pretty amazing really. parts of it don't even look like 'merica to me, gol durnit. it was windy on saturday so we didn't venture too far out into them. even so, i had a lot of sand in my mouth. and socks. and undies. at night it got cold. not too cold though. awwww purdy gooo-ood.
oh, and then there is this. lovely. the evil empire marches on.
snow reports look promising. i expect this weekend will be my first day out on the tele's. already some reports of (minor) slide activity in my backyard .... buckle up campers, 'tis the season.
