Horse Back Riding 
We went for a 2 hour horse back riding adventure today. It was tons of fun (don't know if Joe felt the same way... :) ) We walked along trails out to the beach, then we got to trot along the beach. There was a Russian family with us. We are staying in Florence at Pacific Pines again so we have good internet for tonight then we are going to head inland and go to Crater Lake National Park.

Us on the beach. Joe's on Tennessee, I'm riding Hercules (he's half Percheron, just won't finish filling out for another couple years).

Dune Bunny Videos 
Okay, so we went surfing today. Super long walk, but the waves were gorgeous and it was tons of fun. I stood up almost every time I caught a wave. :)

Anyway, here are two dune buggy videos. One of Joe driving it on the beach and another I took from the passenger seat while on the dunes. At some points I was kinda paying more attention to where we were going as opposed to where the camera was pointed... sorry. :)

RV Parking Lot 
Well, we're staying in our first parking lot RV park. It has fast internet though which we need in order to get more work done. So, we stayed here one night to top up on power and water and get work stuff done, then we're heading out back into a National Forest Recreation Area. There are sand dunes and such. It looks very neat. Hopefully we can find a good spot.
I'll try to get some photos up soon of where we were.

Back to National Forest 
Because of Labor Day Weekend, we sort of needed to find a place to hide out.. We found a road out into the National Forest again. There was a bit of a ditch in the road, so we took the bikes up and ended up find a very neat spot. We got the RV past the drain ditch in the road easily enough. So, another beautiful forest. After dinner we went for a 6 mile walk down the road further and met a hunter and his two goats (yes, I said goats). They were very cute and are apparently his pets/pack animals.
We went for a bike ride/hike today. Very pretty area. On the bike ride back a, probably hornet, ran into my cheek, apparently freaked out and decided to sting me. So it's a tiny swelled, but so long as I leave it alone it doesn't bother me.
I'll get pics of our little area before we leave. Some people cut down some relatively small trees up here not too terribly long ago, probably for fire wood. So there's still plenty of blocks of wood. Joe made a little fire pit for us and a bench. We're going to make dough boys over a fire tonight. :) (no s'more materials though)

Newport 
We have now moved to a new campground. We are now in South Beach State Park. It's a quite large campground, so people everywhere, but there are little trees between campsites... Every site is a hookup site though, so we can finally fully charge our batteries. We're even using the water, so our loud, annoying water pump doesn't run when we run water. :) Fun fun.
The beach is a bit of a walk which is fine except for the fact that we want to go surfing and carrying the boards and wearing the wet suits during the walk would be painful... We'll see what we do.
