Florence, OR is at the north end of about 45 miles of coastal sand dunes. Most of this entire area is open to off highway vehicles, and we saw a bunch of them yesterday. Within a mile of the Thousand Trails RV Park where we are parked, we drove to a large parking area where I took this picture. We watched motorcycles, ATV's, sand buggies, jeeps, and even a couple of Pickups climb this hill adjacent to the parking area. It brought back memories of the time spent at Dumont Dunes near Death Valley, during the annual XMAS vacation pilgrimage. Today, we visit Railroad Ray, and his hobby railroad in Deadwood, OR, about 25 miles from here. Tomorrow, I'll have more on his story, and some pictures. This weekend is the Memorial kickoff to summer and should be a reminder for all of us to honor our fallen heroes.
