Today is a day we've been looking forward to........riding four-wheelers in the middle of sand dunes than can be 500 ft tall. Some of the tallest in America. So, we woke up bright and early to grab coffee at Stumptown (a coffee mecca for Brett) and some Voodoo donuts for the road. They make one mean donut with maple glaze and slices of bacon on top. Yuuuum, had to get two.

We hit the road and got to Steve's ATV Rental at 3PM ready to rock and roll. After some paperwork and a driving test, which Brett failed by letting his manual ATV die trying to shift into 2nd multiple times, they set us off on the dunes.

This was not like riding in the woods at all and it took a while for us to get the hang of it, but once we did....ohh man we had a blast. Unfortunately for Brett, getting the hang of it included flying off his ATV because he failed to slow down enough while coming across a blind dune crest. FORTUNATELY he did not break anything and ruin the trip because flying up the side of those dunes with the throttle floored in 4th gear is a whooooollle lot of fun.

After around a 3 hour ride we left the dunes for Jessie Honeyman campground, but not before grabbing a bite to eat a nice little seafood restaurant right on the bay. Apparently we should have been turned down because the restaurant is super popular and we didn't have reservations, but fortune smiled upon us because, after a 5 minute wait, we were seated at the best table in the restaurant.

After dinner we went and made camp in the dark and went to bed, winding down to some of Pink Floyd's best chill out tunes.
