The Oregon Dunes

We've been in air boats on the Everglades, gondolas in the Italian Dolomites, speed boats in the Ozarks, white water rafts, and of course, sailboats. So why not try a rail buggy?


Here we are . . . all strapped in, goggled and ready to hit the dunes!


Gene getting harnessed in. You had to pry is white knuckled fists off the rails when we returned to the dune buggy base.


The tallest dune is about 450 feet high. The dunes cover 600,000 acres in an area that extends from Coos Bay to Florence (approx. 50 miles) and is two or three miles wide. There are even lakes in the middle of some of the dunes.


This lake is at Honeyman State Park where we camped. Families have great fun playing on the dunes and swimming and boating on the lake.
