Riding the Dunes

Rosey acting up

Sept 21/14   Weather was misty and cool about 64 when we started moving around in the morning.  Cloudy and grey.  This is true Oregon weather according to their tourism department ` "You've heard the old joke that people in Oregon don't tan?  They Rust!   Or if you wait outside for a bus, you'll grow moss on your north side!! "

So instead of riding the Harley today we decided to slip down the road just a couple of miles and see if we could take a ride in the Dunes.  By the way there 42 miles of Sand -  Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area  .     We walked up to see the dunes from our campground and thought it looked like the Sahara desert!!!    Wow.   It took us by surprise how huge it is.  When the wind is blowing the sand moves 2 to 3 feet an hour so you can get lost quickly.   

dune buggyin!

awesome ride

miles and miles of sand

We walked into Sandrail Tours at 11 a.m. and they had a buggy leaving right then we could get a ride on.... sounded great.   What a roller coaster ride for 10 miles in half an hour.   We were laughing so hard but you had to clamp your mouth shut to keep the sand out.   Ha ha.   What a blast!
