EPO9 "A new Beginning" 2-23-2007

Sponsored by Glamis Sand Food - 2007 saw a New Beginning.  Not only as an EPO member, but Glamisdunes.com.  Many things happened in 2006 that caused changes to take place.  A New Beginning brought people together; united and focused.  A New Beginning was the start of something special. 

The turn-out for ANB was the biggest yet.  This event would put champions against champions, female against male.  A battle of strength, a battle for bragging rights.  Some would not finish, others would fall.  The track took its toll on all the competition, but only one could claim victory.  Because of the high winds, only a handful of pictures were taken.  Here’s how the warriors finished.

Sand Food
The Sand Food is a strange and interesting plant that grows in the Algodones Sand Dunes.  It lives below the surface of the sand, attaches its scaly stem to the root of a nearby shrub, and uses the host’s nutrients for itself.  The flower head pushes above the surface during spring and looks very similar to mushrooms.  The heads can stand 5 inches above the sand.  On top of the heads bloom tiny lavender flowers.  The texture of the heads feels silky, unlike its appearance.
