NORTH BEND, OR Day 2.  Drove as a group to the sand dunes of Oregon.  This is an amazing place, where the wind blows in pure sand around evergreen forests creating tall mounds of sand.  We rode in huge dune buggies, then were let out to walk and climb on the dunes.

On the way back we stopped at a shop where a man makes products out of myrtlewood, a wood named in the Bible; thus, many crosses, etc were carved out of it.  After that we ate at a very good restaurant in Reedsport.

As we headed home we stopped at a Walmart to do some shopping.  By the time we got back to the RV park, we had to unload groceries quickly and change clothes for our 5:00 pm farewell supper at the hotel.  This was a pleasant departure for the tour, since there would be no final breakfast the next morning.  The wagonmaster would depart at 6:00 am the following morning bound for Maine where he would lead a fall foliage tour in late September.
