We found some dunes about 30 miles above Scorpion Bay

Had many miles of them all to ourselves.

Looks fun! Is that pic from your drone which was following?

JZ - 12-1-2017 at 09:39 PM

Yeah, from the drone.

I liked to do donuts and throw dirt with my wheels, when I was a teenager

That's my 15 yo driving the truck and 13 yo riding the bike.

You should do stuff with your kids sometimes instead of pounding on the keyboard all day long.

Awesome! I will have to find them next time I am in the area. :bounce::bounce:

That is a wonderful shot! How much we missed before drones....

That looks like a fun day!

Awesome on you for making such good memories with your kids! What direction are they from SJ? Been that way several times but never seen them.

"Above" is probably north.
The sand dune field is huge and comes next to the road at the south end of the salina, south of El Datil. If you only drive the high road then you would not have seen them.
I took photos of them and camped there last August. See them in my TRIP #6 report here on Nomad (Baja Trip Reports forum).

Fun stuff

Wet sand is a blast on a bike. Making memories they will never forget.

Fun, fun, fun!

Yep, that's the same dune field where I camped:

Here's the GPS track and mileages north from San Juanico to El Datil. The dunes are 3 miles past the ranch and 10 miles south of El Datil or about 29 miles from San Juanico.
