Imperial Sand Dunes- Glamis, CA

It’s hard to believe that our Christmas Break has come and gone!  When we left Tucson, we headed past Yuma to boondock on Ogilby Road in California.  We were headed for the dunes!  Our friends arrived in Glamis and set up camp, so we made our way out to boondock in the Imperial Sand Dunes!  The Imperial Sand Dunes are the largest in the state, extending for more than 40 miles in a band averaging 5 miles wide!

This area is popular for off-highway vehicles (OHV) of all shapes and sizes.  The guys came to the area before Thanksgiving,

but this was a first visit for me!  We went for great rides in the dunes…

and took time to hang out and play games around camp.

From racing up the dunes,

to playing on the sand hill overlooking camp,

one thing is for certain.  We had an awesome time hanging out with friends and playing in the sand!  I have a feeling that we’ll be back!

Pima Air & Space Museum- Tucson

Chris & Caleb took flight at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson.  It is the 3rd largest aircraft museum in the world and the largest privately funded.  They have over 300 aircraft and many displays.

They have everything from a replica of the first successful aircraft, the Wright Flyer, to the most technologically advanced aircraft, the SR71 Blackbird.

When asked how he rated the museum on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, Caleb enthusiastically rated it a 20!

Caleb took the picture below of his favorite, the A10 Warthog.

The B29 Bomber also ranked among the favorites.

Filled with historical information, this was a great day trip for the guys!
