Arriving in the Desert
As we drove into the desert, the scenery changed dramatically. The city faded away, replaced by rolling dunes and a clear blue sky. It felt like stepping into another world. We parked, grabbed our gear, and took a moment to soak it all in. The air was warm, and the sound of the wind was calming.
Sandboarding: The Thrill of the Ride
Once we got our sandboards, it was time to hit the dunes. I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous. I mean, how hard could it be? But as soon as I stood on that board and pushed off, I realized this was going to be a wild ride.
