Mystery Pictures 100108

This may be a bit of a cop out, but here we go....

Yesterday GAP published a What Would You Do about a bunch of slides developed in July 1970. The first roll of slides had pictures that were mostly from a family trip to some sand dunes. The information I have about the picture is posted above each picture.

Susan at sun-up


Susan and Angie


Ellen


John at sand dunes


Big John


John, Mom, Ellen - sand dunes


Susan is on the farm in the first one, but two things are apparent about the others: 1) We do not know where, when, and why this family group was in the sand dunes, and 2) Not everyone in the pictures is identified. Can anyone help out with this information? Was this a road trip family reunion?

UPDATE

Ellen provides some names and background information in the comments:
Going to the sand dunes was a very conmmon event. While Grandpa was studying atriplex, we would often pack everybody up and go to the sand dunes for the afternoon. In the picture of Big John, that is Aunt Janet in the blue jacket. The toddler in the last picture must be Shawna. I would guess this was about 1970.
Thanks, Ellen!
