After tossing and turning for most of the night I was surprised to hear a strange noise at 2:30am. I was staring up at the tent and that’s when I heard the noise of a silent engine that hovered over our tent. The only thing I can describe the sound as, is the sound of sci-fi movie ufos. Needless to say I couldn’t sleep much after that as it spooked the heck out of me. Once I noticed the horizon starting to light up we got out of the tent to watch the coming sunrise. And boy…what a sunrise! The way the dunes light up with color is absolutely amazing! After hiking around the dunes for a bit when returned to camp and packed up.
