Sept 19/14 Weather on Friday traveling down Interstate 5 corridor HOT high 80's, like a dust bowl - hottest and driest summer on record. In fact if you tell anyone in the East they find it hard to believe since we have the understanding that it rains here 365 days a year!

We drove across to the coast and we arrived at our campground right in the heart of the Oregon Sand Dunes National Recreation Area;
Woahink Lake RV Resort.
Our campground is full of ATV's and dune buggy's.

Billy couldn't wait to call my brother and tell him about the drive on hwy 126 from Eugene to here. It was a beautiful motorcycle road, narrow, winding, twisting, elevation up and down, a tunnel with a 7% decline with two turns at the bottom - Billy said it would be great to drive it in a Porsche!!!

Sept 20/14 Weather is sunny but 20 degrees cooler on the coastline and humid - 65 in the morning; afternoon up to 79. When we took off riding north along hwy 101 the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway it almost felt cold and had that foggy look to the horizon. The road hugs the ocean and pulls away into the little towns. There are so many state parks along the coast - literally there has to be hundreds, one after the other. Lighthouses, seals, sea spouts, rugged outcrops, and sea stacks.
