Sandbox

There is a small area of sand dunes in northern Colorado called the North Sand Hills Recreation Management Area.  I had no idea they were there.  They are only an hour and a half from where we live.  Three of us took atv’s up to play around in them.  On the way there, we had another cow traffic jam.  This seems to be becoming a thing that we run into everywhere we go.  It’s uncanny how many cow traffic jams there have been this year.  I should do a photo series of cow traffic jams.  It was a very windy day and the fall coolness had settled in the air.  This probably helped us to almost have the place to ourselves.  I imagine it is very busy in summer.  It is a giant adult sandbox.  It is such a foreign landscape of sand and small trees.  Our atv’s were not set up for sand so we had to be careful to not get stuck.  The sand was so much fun to play in.  It was beautiful to watch how it moved and shifted.  And of course, the photo opportunities were many.

The videos are far from professional and might even be considered bad, but they give you an idea of what it felt like.
