I would never visit there i would need so much water. Walking in sand is also torture if you have to walk a mile or longer. You can relate to that because of walking in Pentwater to Nolan's beach house and it is not fun walking 3 miles in the sand! To see a large desert like that it would blow my mind. How many gallons of sand would that be?
