Gateway to the Oregon Dunes

Dscn1282That's where we are right now!  Kinda feeling a bit out of place, however.  We are literally the only people camping in this RV park that does not have a bunch of ATV's surrounding it.  Hope we make it out of here before we too own a couple of ATV's too!  The Oregon Dunes are really beautiful, not something you see everyday.  We're staying at the Oregon Dunes KOA in North Bend, OR.


On our drive here from Gold Beach today we stopped at the Prehistoric Gardens in Port Orford, OR and the Game Park Safari in Bandon, OR.  Both were really great for the kids.  Prehistoric Gardens was a nice hike through the Oregon Rain Forests and had many dinosaur sculptures throughout.  Very informative and we all know a little more about dinosaurs now.  The Game Park Safari is America's largest wild animal petting adventure.  We got to get up close and personal to many animals you wouldn't normally get to in a traditional zoo or petting farm.  We got to play with a 35 day old lion cub too! 


Now I'm off to do some laundry while the kids play at the park.  I hope we get a decent sleep tonight, I'm told the Dunes don't "close" until midnight and our campground has direct access to them.  Should be interesting!
