So dougie asked me what i wanted to do for my Birth Day. My BIG 3-0 Birthday. I knew i wanted it to be special. I tinkered around with different ideas for a while, and i couldn't decide on anything. Then i gave it a different approach. I thought back to my past and tried to remember the times that made me the happiest. One though stood out from the rest. CAMPING! I have always loved camping and Death Valley is the place that makes me the happiest. I have had so many awesome memories there. I have found Peace and happiness in the solitude of the Sand Dunes. So for my birthday I said to Dougie "we are going to Death Valley". Oddly enough he was stoaked about the whole idea. We have both been avid campers in our past. So it was funny when we sorted our camping equipment out and he was like " i want to take my stove" and i said "NO i want to take MY stove" in the end .. he won. His was nicer.
So we packed up the Element and headed out on the road for a 3 day trip to my favorite spot on earth!!!!
Our first night was not that great because we couldn't find a camp site...I mean .. who knew Death valley would be full on Easter Weekend?!?!?!?!
So we settled for pitching tent in the parking
Our 2nd night was better, we got up early and snatched a good camping spot with a table, bench, grill and fire
During the day i made sandwiches and such and Dougie Senor Chef made us Dinner.
There's something about camping that will make ANYTHING taste good! (Not to say that dougie can't cook, because oh my lord he can) But those wher the best hot dogs i have had in my LIFE, and that chilli. i don't even EAT chilli and i ate the whole thing!!!
So Sunday morning Easter morning but more importantly SIGRID'S BIRTHDAY Morning =) I woke up at about 6 am dragged dougie out of the tent so we could rush to the dunes before the sun came up. After what i think was about 45 min hustle through the dunes we got to our sweet spot! The top of dune!
Dougies big climb
We also found Big Foot strolling in the dunes
Together For Ever In Death Valley
