Yes, sandy area. My machine continued South with me on my planned journey. Months later I returned but machine in bits in a different country. Not pilot error, and the perpetrator has been spotted on Pprune. I loaded it but didn't fly it that day. Night stop on day of photograph in national capital, and I was surprised that ale was available.
Believe demise of machine due to power lever malfunction. Unable to check, local militia peppered the machine with bullets in double-quick time, and journey to strip by road somewhat difficult. And yes, this is not USA.
