My friend Ricky said he would try it so we got our winches ready and parked on…

to the dunes and went four wheeling. My family and I rented two quads and headed out to the dunes. A quad is a four wheeled motorcycle that runs fast on land. The loud thundering noises from the quad terrified me. When I got on the quad, I could feel my body shaking and going numb.

On the seventh day, we packed our bags and…
