We are now driving north looking at the Pacific Ocean. We stayed in Brandon last night and tonight
we are in Yachats, Oregon. It is Labor
Day weekend and many in Oregon are heading to the beach for summer’s “Last
Hurrah”. We only have a room for the
night…hopefully we will find a room for tomorrow.
We saw some interesting things in our coastal drive today: 1)
A lighthouse (of course); 2) quaint fishing village; 3) fishermen cleaning
salmon; and 4) ATV’s riding in the sand dunes.
Oregon’s sand dunes extend for 40 miles along the Oregon
coast. They are really interesting to
see because they have been sculptured in so many ways by glaciers, wind, rain
and tides. It was exciting watching
people drive the dunes on ATV’s. I did
some climbing in the dunes and found it was hard work in very soft sand.

I can't believe you are that close to the water from your motel room. SO cool.
