Grab Life by the Sand

Alright, highlights of the weekend:
1. Moved a bunch of shit into the new apartment in Las Cruces,
2. Rented a very sweet, very big Dodge Ram 1500 for the move,
3. Witnessed a kid throw up in the apt complex's pool,
4. Visited white sands national park for the first time.

Bummers of the weekend:
1. Moved a bunch of shit into the new apartment in Las Cruces,
2. Dropped over $100 in gas for the very sweet, very big Dodge Ram 1500 rent-a-truck,
3. I can’t believe that kid threw up in the pool!

That said this weekend was pretty awesome. I'm super ampped about getting to see white sands for the first time. Leif and I drug two of Leif’s friends along with us and made them help dig two connecting tunnels in one of the larger dunes. We just used our hands to scoop the sand but it ended up in a U shape measuring somewhere in the neighborhood of 5’ deep and about 2’ across. It was big enough to crawl on hands and knees all the way in and out the other side. Sweet! What you see here is a picture I found on the internet from some German guy, although I took a lot of my own pictures it seems I’m too lazy to post them.

With regard to the Rental truck, it was a brand new ’05 Dodge Ram 1500 quad-cab. It had just under 6k miles on it when we picked it up on Friday at 5:30pm and almost exactly 8k on the OD and an ass-load of white sand in the seats when we returned it Sunday at midnight. It drove really nice and I think we got a good deal on the rental price considering I’m under 25, but at an average of 13 mpg I think the joke was on us.
