Playing in sand

July 13, 2019 1 comment

Right next to our RV Park in Oregon are the Oregon Sand Dunes. One section is used for hill climbs, and all day long you hear the souped up motors rev up. Fortunately, they close the dunes at dark so we have quiet at night.

It is fun to watch them though, they really take this stuff seriously. And if you can’t afford a bike or a dune buggy, you can buy a ride in one. Fun!

Sweet Creek Waterfalls

October 5, 2017 Leave a comment

This hike is close to Florence, near the Oregon coast.  This was one of the nicest hikes we’ve ever done.  It isn’t long, only about 2 miles each way.  It isn’t steep, only about 350 ft vertical.  It isn’t especially challenging, although there were some roots, rocks and catwalks.  And the whole route was under heavy forest growth.

But the waterfalls were amazing!  There are about 15 waterfalls along the two mile route, and rushing water all the way.  We did this on a beautiful day with our friends Jack and Sylvia Napoles. They bought a house in the area and will certainly do this hike and others in the Siuslaw Forest again!
