Have you forgotten the days and nights we spent as you, your husband and I climbed what seemed to be a unclimbable mountain. The days were hot and dry and the nights cold and trying as animals tried their best to carry us off to some forgotten den. Water was gone and nothing was to be had to substain our lives. All was gone until we arrived at the top of the sandhill. We cheered, ate a lizard and climb back to the distance truck. Sand flees ate our ankles to the bone. Finally we arrived at the truck to take us home. Wow, did the beer taste good. Eighth wonder of the world.....The sandhill. Ah.

When it opened in ´65 it was called the Eight Wonder of the Wonder. I remember seeing bumper stickers saying so. What about the Astrodome in Houston?
