this past weekend we went down to the sand dunes with krista and her main man mike. i was not born on a four-wheeler like brandon and mike were and have not had much experience handling one in the sand so, i'm very timid. everything was going great until we (and when i say we i mean mostly mike and brandon) wanted to go to the back side of sand mountain. the obstacles back there are giant in comparison to the ones i was doing in other areas. "okay," i thought "lets try it." if i don't want to do anything i won't. that was NOT the case.
we went around the easy way but everyone wanted to go back the hard way (over the mountain instead of around). i'm thinking how awesome that sounds and that now instead of choosing which things i want to do, i HAVE to do them. anyways, i did the first thingy with such ease after looking at it for ten minutes and watching several other people do it before me. in fact, i enjoyed it. that didn't last long. the next thing was a twisty kind of thingy and i almost made it but then i started slipping back down this gi-normous hill. i braked and the bike stopped-kind of. OMG, HELP ME!! i had no idea what to do except to die. that's when i saw flashes of my life. brandon came down to where i was and grabbed the bike. we were slowly sliding down the hill together. he told me to get off the bike-say what??? get off???? anyways, i composed myself and since i trust him ever so much i slithered off. by that time mike was there holding the other end. i tried to climb up to where krista was and for those of you you have not ever tried to climb up a steep incline of soft sand, i'll just say it was better than the stairmaster. when i finally made it up i saw that brandon and mike were turning the bike around so brandon could go back down and get it up to where we were.
after that i was completely terrified until we got back to the truck. we went for another ride after that which was less traumatizing but at least i got back out there after i had such a horrifying experience.
