Walking through it easily kicks up the sand into the air, especially to get into place for a timed self portrait. :) Thanks, Bob!

So unique and special. If you are looking for a hike around LA, I just went to O'Melveny in Granada Hills <a href="http://www.lamountains.com/parks.asp?parkid=78" rel="nofollow">http://www.lamountains.com/parks.asp?parkid=78</a> and the trails are newly cleared and looking really good, even though the area suffered from a bad fire last fall. It's a great local spot. I love it out there, too. So unique and special.

Funny enough, Peru & Bolivia are top on my list right now. I was there in 2004 and I think it's time for a trip back! Thanks for the ideas, Jim.

Airfare is $900, but you aren't going anywhere good on $500. Put the extra $400 on the Visa and pay it when you get home! <br><br>Runner up: check the weather for Peru that time of year - should be a cheapish flight from LAX. Go for New Zealand!

I've never had the chance to visit that part of the country. Wyoming and Eastern Montana are sparse, but nothing like Mohave and Death Valley. Thanks for sharing.
