Multiple gas free rides on the dunes

For a change of pace,the Lele Kawa crew came to join me in Yuma, rather and meeting up in San Diego.

We pulled out all the toys for this one. We had surf boards, snadboards, mountain boards, power kites and our imaginations.

The surf boards worked better on sliding down the sand than expected, and they made for some good photos. The sand was a bit wet and sticky for the sand board, this made it better for the mountain board. You could make it pretty far down the dunes if weren't too steep because the wet sand was packed pretty well. You did end up finding some loose patches to wipe out in.

 We also had fun just trying to jump down the steeper dunes as far as we could. The picture doesn't really due it justice, but it was lots of fun.

Az to Salton Sea, CA

Like many people I was tipped off to the Salton Sea by the youtube video "The Accidental Sea".


So my first week down here in Western Arizona I decided I had to check it out.

I'm a little disappointed that my experience wasn't as post apocalyptic as Accidental Sea portrays.

I circled the whole sea and didn't see much that was real crazy. I managed to get a few good photos, but because I was alone I got bored pretty quickly. I ventured off the main road a few times, towards the sea, but I didn't head the other way. I missed out on Salvation Mountain and a few of the other cooler things in that area. Maybe in a few months when it isn't crazy hot out I will head back over there and really explore.

I did stop off at Ocotillo Wells on the way and Imperial dunes. I cruised down Oil Well Wash at Ocotillo wells a little bit.
