Bandon Dunes

Along the coast of Oregon there is a jut out in the coast line that is very sandy. At this area are four world renown links golf courses. Of course Don got the itch to golf!!

We checked into the Bandon Dunes Lodge in the late afternoon. There was just enough light left to walk the Ocean Trail. We walked thru lots of sand and tough grass, saw some deer browsing. Then we got into an area of pine trees and spiny ground cover plant called gorse that resembled juniper, but with two inch long thorns.  You sure would not walk thru that!!

Eventually we got to a sand dune ridge over which we climbed at get to the ocean. Gorgeous!  Waves crashing into the shore line.
