Off Roading in the Desert

I am bummed that we don't have many pictures, some how they were deleted from the camera. We'll have to take some next time. Any how we went to Fossil Rock. We took both of our vehicles - Larry's Jeep and my Dodge Durango. We started on a trail that is about 40 minutes outside of Dubai and ended about 90 minutes away. Fossil Rock was basically at the end of the treck. We got stuck 3 times and had to dig out - I should correct, I got stuck in the Durango. I could make the excuse that the wheel base is longer, lower clearance, but mostly I was just chicken to go too fast. We were very sore the next day from all of the digging. The sand went from white to a beautiful orange/red. The white dunes are smaller where the orange ones can get very large. I wish that we would have gotten a picture of the last dune that we came down, it was huge!

Here are a few pictures from the day...




A big hurd of camels 3 adult camels and one baby - cool that they are all different colors






Getting stuck and unstuck - such fun.... well maybe not so much
