Winnemucca was... GREAT!

We went to Winnemucca and had a blast. Welder Guy and I left home at 3pm on Tuesday, September 1st, and pulled into the sand dunes at 930pm. Unfortunately, we got stuck getting in thru the soft sand, so we spent the night in the entrance, and got out the next morning and spent Wednesday night out by the highway. FIL and MIL pulled in Wednesday night late and we all spent the night by the highway. Thursday morning, FIL and Welder Guy took another look at the entrance and decided FIL's truck would make it aired down, so we ran to town and bought an air compressor so that they could air down and not drive back to town to have to air up when we left. So we got back to the dunes, and FIL aired down and made it thru in one try, then came back out to the road and got Welder Guys's truck and trailer and pulled us in. Thursday night, Mr. Patterson and his Mrs. were due up, but they made it so late that they stayed in town and came out to the dunes Friday morning. Their dog, Tug, is the cutest thing ever by the way. We went on some good rides (long and tired and rides where we saw new things), and we went on some not so good rides (one ride in particular where my nose started bleeding because of how dry it was up there and wouldn't stop bleeding, or the ride where Welder Guy KILLED his bike, or the one where he was on FIL's bike and he broke the spark plug while it was in the motor!). All in all, it was a great time and we got some great pictures.
