It's COLD.......Very Cold...........


in the Sand Dunes near Coos Bay, OR. We left Cottage Grove on I-5 and it was 74 degrees.......just about right. Over a little hill and down to the Oregon Coast and the temp dropped to 60 degrees! We arrived at the campground about 1400, messed around and set things up.............searched for a sweat shirt while Becky dug out a winter jacket. After supper "B" and I headed out for a short run in the sand. This is "B" putting on her helmet, some duners in the sand and a view of highway 101 heading toward Coos Bay. These people air their tires down and haul everything into the dunes. This group were parked a looong ways from any paved roads.




This is the bridge leading to Coos Bay.......well North Bend actually. A couple of more pictures of the sand dunes and on the way back I decided to see how fast the Rhino would run in the sand. I installed a new clutch that was supposed to help things out and it actually did..........Becky and I reached 51 mph in the sand.........not bad. The new shocks are still pretty stiff; but, they seem to smooth things out a bit.

Got a fire going outside so guess I'll post this and go outdoors. More later. W&B
