Point of No Return


This weekend we decided to do a little 4-wheeling! We were on a sandy road at the Sand Dunes National Monument, and about a mile in we came upon this rather unnerving sign.

Since I live in a place with lots of National Parks around, I happen to know that they do their best to keep people OUT of the parks and wilderness areas. (We wouldn't want humans messing up all the nature and everything...) But is this going a bit far?

I mean, I thought the $15 entrance fee was steep, but a possible $400? Schwooo!


We checked our credit report and decided we could afford it.



Of course, the pictures don't do it justice. But it was amazing.

(And we made it without needing a wrecker!)
