Not the best of conditions for a beach walk in July so no surprise that noone else was present.

Miles 141 and 142 provide nice solitude and good wildlife viewing.

This mile is typical of the Oregon Dunes beaches - grassed foredune, vegetated deflation plain, and large parabolic dunes inland.

Pleasant day, notable erosion of foredune - not unexpected after the winter and spring storms this year.

The weather was crazy; as we hiked across the two mile expanse of dunes to access our mile, the weather went from somewhat sunny to hail and wind, to rain and back to sunny.
