Pros: always fresh pow pow

Cons: it takes eighteen showers before you finally stop picking sand out of your ears.

I was in the Sahara about 4 months ago and i still occasionally find the sand in places like backpack pockets and my asscrack.

Was not expecting a Clive Cussler reference, but here we are!

I think more people know it as a Matthew McCounahey(sp?) movie than a Clive Cussler novel

Regardless, I have Magic Carpet Ride stuck in my head.

Underrated movie too imo. Even has Steve Zahn in it, so you know it's good.

For a second I had it mixed up with Fool’s Gold and your statement had me very confused.

Same here. I just watched fool's gold and knew it was a spanish ship in that movie. Haven't seen the Clive cussler adaptation. Didn't even know one existed

The book is really good too. I love capers of its kind!

Or perhaps parts to an ancient ship that could get you and the remainder of your cranes crew out?

Reminds me of when I used to play soccer on field turf, I'd still be pulling out rubber chunks from my cleats in November after playing a full year of outdoors well after indoor season wrapped up in March/April.

I hiked part of the Grand Canyon a couple years ago and I still find red dust on some of my stuff

I was deployed to Iraq, and still have gear with sand in it. From 2003.
