Hard to tell as the wind was blowing 90 mph for me, also.? Ha.? They closed the road the night before.? I wanted to go in and get some sunset shots with the dunes, but the weather had other ideas.? Next day the road was still covered with sand in many places.? Did manage to get some good shots, similar to yours.? But it is an interesting place that I hope to visit again one day and maybe the weather will cooperate.
