Once we made it to the bottom of the dune climb we started to load up all of our stuff to head to the... "uh, oh... wait a minute... where is my camera?" Those famous words were uttered by Tara just as we were preparing to leave. She had an idea of where it might be - at the area where we rested before turning around to come back. I wasn't 100% sold on whether it was worth it to go back and look, but Tara had that look of dread in her eyes, so I figured I better give it a shot. Dad ended up joining me for the walk back, and after a 20 minute trek we actually managed to find it - right where she thought it would be. After that it was another 20 minute trek back to the bottom. I figured I should take some pictures as proof of our second walk of the day on the dunes.

Back at the bottom of the hill with all of our possessions in hand, we climbed back into our vehicles to go on the Stocking Scenic Drive to see more sights.
