<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe sky was cloudless, if you ignore the contrails. That tan stripe at the bottom of the mountains is our destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is the Great Sand Dune National Park. Friend Walter walked out a ways to see if he could find a nice photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to a quirk in the way the wind blows around the mountains here, there is a seven mile long sand dune over a thousand feet high. In the middle of Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And walked…<\/p>\n\n\n\n …and walked…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people bring bikes to ride out on the sand. It wasn’t allowed while we were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While we justly concentrate on the Lewis and Clark Expedition here in Montana, there were other explorers at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a view from up on one of the neighboring mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An interestingly broken rock in the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly are a pair of panoramas of the Sand Dune. The first one is taken on my iPhone on the panorama setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
