"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Camping Trip @ Great Sand Dunes National Park

We rented this A liner pop-up camper from our MWR facility on post, it was wonderful to sleep in it & not on the cold ground.


In the spring this small creek flows through the bottom of the dunes, it's the snow melt from the mountains.

This is 1 of 9 pics I took at an attempt for a good M&M shot.


Maci got out of the backpack to hike in the sand for about 50 meters, Scott wants me to point out her lil quad!!

WOO HOO!! We made it to the top! This was our view......
Our round trip hike in the sand was about 2.75 miles from the parking lot. The kids were amazing, Maximus was unstoppable (never once did he complain).

Awesome photos, makes me want to go back here again! :) Brandon made the hike without us when we were here because Patrick fell asleep in the car and Mia was too afraid to go so I stayed at the car taking photos of him as he climbed :) Thanks for sharing!
