Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 4,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

The motorhome is  parked at Thousand Trails South Jetty RV Resort in Florence, Oregon. I’ll depart here May 23rd.

I’ve been here several times over the years and have thoroughly explored the area. So while here this time, I’ll publish some earlier blog entries. Today’s entry was first published May 10, 2011…

 

 

Yesterday Mary and I drove just one mile from our current camping location in Florence, Oregon, to enter the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The area is at the northern end of 40 miles of sand dunes along the Oregon coast and as the name suggests, an area of prime recreational national lands.

Here’s a Google Earth view of the area we explored yesterday…

Finally, I thought I’d show you our camping spot. the campground is heavily treed. I took this photo during a few minutes of rare sunshine during our visit…

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

 Yesterday was partly sunny and 64 degrees. Forecast for today is partly cloudy and 61 degrees.

Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
