WOW, that was quite a hike, back and forth. I can only imagine how tricky those dunes were. You seemed like you both were the only signs of life around... but then Doug pointed out the sparrows, the animal prints, and the underground mounds. I can only imagine the forms of life that emerge at night. Getting lost would be easy, I would imagine. Falling down those mounds of sand... YIKES. That was very interesting, and challenging, Doug and Kellie. You both earned that yummy lunch. 😋 I don't think that would be a location to explore alone. I'm glad you had each other, and were pretty aware of your surroundings. Thank you for being our guides, Doug and Kellie, and sharing info with us. very interesting, informative, and entertaining 🏡🙏🏻👏🏻💝🎊👏🏻
@@rhondaz356 Howdy Rhonda! We did see a huge hare, a big black tailed jack rabbit. They are more erect than a cottontail, have very large ears, and are the size of house cat. The one we saw was running so fast I didn't have time to get him on video. If the sun was out the colors and textures would have popped out and you would have really enjoyed seeing them. We are not in charge of the weather, just thankful it was not snowing or a dust storm. Walking in the sand is a hard workout; like using snow shoes almost. I would like to see the dunes at night to observe all the little nocturnal residents. We won't get enough snow in the mountains yet, so will probably be investigating the desert some more for you. 🤠🇺🇸👋💙🙏🏜️🌅🐺🐻🐭🐹🐰🦝🐴🐐🐂🐎🦌🦨
@CalNeva That's right. I do remember you mentioning the giant hare that scurried by. I bet it doesn't run into too many humans. Nighttime must be a whole, different world. Please be ***extra careful if you ever visit the dunes then.😳 Wishing you a FANtastic day, Doug. 🏡🙏🏻 😃🏜 Gosh, I wish the emojis would be expanded...
Great cardio workout. Just don't overdo it. No matter the temperature you always need to keep hydrated. About 15 years ago (when it was still free) I walked in the Indiana State Dunes Park and wow not easy climbing up or down a dune there either! Kellie always makes a nice lunch and some tasty sounding cookies. Took a nap when you got home Doug? Me too!
@@hestheMaster Hi Steve! We were just joking about the water. Actually Kellie drinks more water than me when it is cool and we were both carrying plenty. Yes, we were a little tired because of working out muscles we never use. I think I went to bed a little earlier than normal that day. Those dunes sound very interesting in Indiana; I would enjoy experiencing those too! 🤠
Thank you Doug and Kelli once again for a very interesting adventure. Who knew the sand dunes would have any creatures making it their home? It sure looked like a challenge to walk and climb and I'm sure you both were tired after that. Kelli's cookies were very unique and looked delicious. You and Kelli stay safe!
@@jennifertriplett6149 Hi Jennifer! We are off on another adventure on the Nevada side, keeping to the desert to stay warm. I might bring a compass so we won't get lost. It will be a lot of walking, but it will be an excuse for the cookies! 🍪
Hello Brother Doug and Kellie 👋. I really enjoyed this trip, especially the animal tracks in the sand, and the wonderful silence! First tracks I noticed near the beginning were coyotes. Looking for yummy kangaroo rat 🐀 dinner no doubt! And raven tracks up on the sand ridge you also walked. I could hear a raven talking it up too. I love Ravens, you might have noticed, 😊. Another great hike Brother, with a cookie 🍪 clip too! It was definitely fun ! 🇺🇸
@@Brother_D_therail Hello Brother D (aka The Rail): I was wondering who would notice the raven tracks on the dune ...We were out there before when the sun was out and it was spectacular; the cloudy skies hid all the magic that day, but at least I had a reason for Kellie to bake me some more cookies. 🍪 🤠🇺🇸
The sand dunes are beautiful. Reminds me of the mesquite sand dunes in Death Valley. Great work getting up that tall dunes, it's so hard to climb in the dunes! Great explore 😊
The Kelso Dunes in So Cal Mojave Desert makes a booming sound when the conditions are right. Dryness and humidity. Pushing the sand down makes an acoustic sound. This is very similar to the Kelso area. Most dune areas are restricted to OHV.
Change it to Kellie Ziniga, the curator of the Mineral County Museum is making travel and historical films to promote Nevada. Doug Berry is providing aide to make these promotional films. Think tax deduction for mileage, fuel, overnight accommodations, etc. Might check with a good tax guy. Maybe : )
@@josephbingham1255 Kellie is a county employee, so we need to keep her as a guest on here to keep her on the level with this independent TH-camr. However, it is nice to promote my local area, our town, and one of its museums (we have two!). Have a great one Joseph! 🤠🇺🇸
Hi Yall, the bigger dunes remind me of "Sionging" Sand Mountain East of Fallon back in the early 60's. It DID sing with the wind moving the sand until the people with dune buggies got going crazy on it and filled the sand with oil and other products, it no longer makes any sounds asd I've been told, shame !! You guys are richt to protect these dunes in topdays society . Harry in AK
@@harryraymore5813 Hi Harry, that is interesting about the Fallon dunes back in the early 60's. I bet the Anchorage winter will be starting up in earnest shortly...Brrrrrr.
Kelly and Dug wow awesome you guys just outdo yourself on each new video so appreciate it thank you so much
@@johnkay4542 Thank you John, we appreciate you too!
Thanks Doug and Kellie for taking us along on the sand dunes of Nevada. I really like y'all's video's..✌😊💯

@@1d1ane I wish the sun was out and you could see the different waves and patterns in the sand.

Great video. What’s the name of the song at the beginning?
@@offroadaddiction2073 Howdy Off Road Addiction, glad you could join us! That's just a stock track everyone seems to enjoy. 🤠🇺🇸
The points were way higher than it looks on camera!

Thanks Kellie for keeping the adventure alive.and Doug safe.of coarse the wonderful lunches...cookies

Were your muscles sore after all that? Hiking in sand works just about every muscle in your legs!
@@rockrabbit6484 We were not sore, a little tired but actually the cold cloudy day got to us more than the walking. It was a very enjoyable outing!

My guess is that you were at Clayton Valley Dunes near Silver Peak, Nv. Not to far from your video at Nivloc.
@@CharlieA-q4y So many adventures; so little time! 🇺🇸🤠✌️
Amargosa Valley ?
@@jimpage1296 No. But if you watch a few more of my videos Jim you can put all the clues together quite easily. 👋
Kellie and Doug of Arabia......wheres Lawrence?just started the video.and commented before my 6yr old wild man steals my tablet😮😮😢😂😊
@@caseyhansen4567 Ha! Have fun this weekend Family! 🤠
That would be a great spot for sand boarding 😮. Looks like your packing some heat
@caseyhansen4567 True on both accounts! ✌️
Empty out your boots when you get back to the car! hmm some picture look like surface of Mars but with out the vegetation !
@@johncraig7823 Hi John! We just love the moon scapes and Mars landscapes; waiting for the snow to head back up to the hills.
