Eureka Dunes in Inyo county, California? Close to China Lake, so you'd see USAF activity. If you're there, you're not far from the bristlecone pines, a definate must see!

Ding ding ding ding!
Yep, Eureka Dunes. Recap of the clues:
once you find it, you will know you have found it
The word Eureka translates as "I have found it"
Anybody around here get National Geographic?
The current issue of N.G. has an article on Death Valley National Park (where the dunes are located). The lead photo for the article is of these dunes.
Getting warmer, both metaphorically and kinetically.
Art's guess was physically close and Death Valley is the hottest location in the western hemisphere (although to be fair, this specific location in D.V. is not where the temp records are set).
Although these dunes also "sing."
We've actually heard these dunes booming, and I think they're on record as doing so too.
Aside from that and the occasional military jet passing by it's deathly quiet out there.
Just another "death" reference.
There was a story about our research project in this magazine a few months back, but I didn't really think anyone would bother to check that - definitely an indie rag!
So Dave, you're welcome to anything fraggable in my tank. I'm around Saturday, then gone on travel Sunday through Wednesday. Same thing the following week. Sarah can help coordinate if you want to talk with her.
You want to try posting a new one? If this continues, though, we'll have nothing but frags of each other's former colonies in our tanks...
