We need a Spring Snow dance....

For more information on all the cool things to do at the Sand Dunes, go here. And let's pray, wish for, meditate on, dance, or seed clouds for more snow and rain this spring, so we can do this:

The hiking around Mount Herard and Medano Lake looks rather spectacular.

OK. On to practical matters. I like this idea of having the carport/tarp set up with tables underneath. This will make communal eating easier. It will certainly come in handy if we get rain. That way we're not separated into individual tents and can still socialize normally despite soggy weather.

Any other thoughts? What about sand sledding? What do we need for that? I've heard goggles come in handy... And if there is still water in Medano Creek, I am all about making sand castles and sand sculpture. Has anyone ever tried this there?

I've seen people use flattened cardboard boxes to surf down the dunes.

Used to make a ton of sand castles there as a kid. The sand is great for it.
