We are at it again. We cycled 1200 miles down the coast of Oregon, into California, over the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco. Then it was a ferry across the bay to Vallejo and a lovely side trip up the Napa Valley to Callestoga. That was the end of the bike portion of our trip.

More Oregon Coast

I am ready to continue the trip down the coast and will try and make this blog work for me!  We've just left the Waldport area where we enjoyed exploring the low tide pools.  The mounds of muscle colonies were amazing!  Now we continue on down the coast toward the sand dunes.

Enjoying a cycling break in Yachats.  It is one of  my favorite Oregon coastal towns.

From Florence to Coos Bay, the Oregon Dunes National Recration Area extends for 40 miles along the Oregon Coast. Formed by the ancient forces of wind, water and time, these dunes are like no others in the world. These are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America.  The dunes can reach over 500 feet above sea level and can be up to 3 miles wide.  Quite an awsome sight.

The ocean is out there somewhere
