I can usually find a path.The dunes change quite a bit week to week. This last weekend, I was up on the dunes with my dog and the south side of the two bigger dunes was 10 degrees off of vertical and very soft. I had to change my route to get to the top and slid down on the return while sinking in up to my knees. After a good rain and low winds, I can make it across from East to West entering at Kitty Hawk Kites and exiting at the beach parking lot with only one or two falls. Most of my fall are from stalls on the climbs or catching a pedal while trying to zig-zag up the dunes. I'm just a few years away from retirement and this is where I want to be when I retire.
