Sand Dunes and Roping






We took a motorcycle trip from 10/14 through 10/15. Our first stop was at the Permian Basin museum in Midland and a nice visit and lunch with Barbara and Ron on Friday. On our way up we experienced a west Texas dust storm. Going into Midland I think visibility was down to less than a mile. After lunch we headed to Commemorative Air Force museum and on to Monahans for the night. On Saturday morning we headed to the Monahans Sand Dunes State Park. What a nice park! We rented saucers to ride the dunes on snow white sand and very fine quartz sand. The drive through New Mexico to Hobbs was very pleasant. We went to the cowboy museum and the national steer roping event and had a great time. Sunday morning we headed to Snyder Texas and saw the famous White Buffalo Statue and a herd of antelope. We rode 550 miles and enjoyed our meals at local restaurants along the way.
