We donated a bit to the cause because we had always loved that area, but have not been back since. It was soooo lovely to see how it came out! Pretty much all that was there at the time was a post office that was open some of the time. Gary had a nice talk with the postmistress. <br /><br />He reminds me that we walked those dunes, and, like you, found interesting tracks to ponder. There was also a beautiful (but deceased) butterfly just lying on the sand. The resultant photograph has long since disappeared, but I remember how the sand grains sparkled around his wings. Great memories! Thanks for bring them to the fore!!! ;-> <br /><br /> Virtual hugs,<br /><br /> Judie judilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-77502528003767701932016-03-28T16:32:52.033-07:002016-03-28T16:32:52.033-07:00The one in the middle is most likely some kind of ...The one in the middle is most likely some kind of lizard tracks.

Your pictures of them are just gorgeous. They are works of art. Being at the top is definitely worth the climb and so is running, rolling, sliding back down.

The legs sure do get a workout.<br />I have never heard of acoustic dunes.

I asked him "Do you know anything about the furniture upstairs?" He glared back at me and said "I don't know ANYTHING about the furniture upstairs!" and that was the end of the conversation. Same type answers we had gotten about the hikes, Cima Dome, etc. etc. so I don't know why I bothered to ask!TakeToTheHighwaydotcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872573574006897572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-5553464134641230962016-03-27T12:07:37.347-07:002016-03-27T12:07:37.347-07:00I too loved seeing the tracks in the sand.

Yet still seemed to have enough sand in our shoes to also build dunes. Bummer you got an unhelpful Ranger.
