The Dripping Fortress august 2014 18 WBM c The most intricate sand sculptures, known as drip castles, must be built in the wet sand near the water’s edge. For that reason, these aren’t the easiest castles to create when the tide is rising, although 11-year-old Emerson Holibaugh is determined to try. Type of Sand: Very wet Tools: Hands and shovel “You should build a wall to try to save your castle,” Holibaugh says, reinforcing his castle with extra sand as the waves lap up against the sides. He also carves out a moat between his castle and the ocean to catch the incoming water. He grabs handfuls of watery sand from inside the moat, creating turrets out of the dripping sand. “You have to let the wet sand drip through your fingers,” he explains.
