Oregon Sand Dunes Day 3 pt.2

i stood up and looked over to see victor still fast asleep, a few moments later his shoe laces where tied together and he was awoken to everyone telling him to run three steps forward. Luckily for him he didn’t face plant.

We left for the beach and it was a very long walk! We finally arrived at the beach but it was very cold and windy and no one wanted to swim. We found some more tracks that we thought where coyotes tracks but you can never really know for sure unless you see the animal.

We walked back and everyone was very tired by the time we came back to where we began. David had one more challenge for us. We divided into teams of three. Galen, Andrew and I we a team going against Massimo, Fynn and Victor. The challenge was to walk through a square in the sand while the other team was looking the other way, then the other team had to look and guess what had happened in the square. The first round the team against us guessed right and got a reward (granola bar). On our turn we guessed right as well and got a reward too. We where going to do three rounds each but we didn’t have time.

We headed back up the trail and back to the car. When we arrived at our campsite we made a roaring fire and some dinner. Then we played for a little then it was bed time.

Oregon Sand Dunes Day 3

I wake up to the sound of my friends voices as they talk and argue. It’s too early I think to myself as I get out of my sleeping bag, I leave the tent and look at breakfast and my stomach rumbles. After a nice breakfast we hopped in the car and head to the dunes.

When we arrive at the dunes we get out, walk into the forest and down a trail. We talk and amble along the trail until the dunes are in sight. We gather at the edge of the dunes at the top of the hill. I look out at the emence dunes infront of me and really see them for the first time. We came here last night but only for a few minates, not enough time to  really appreciate the beauty of this place.

David talks to us about our plans for the next few hours and we head down the hill. At the bottom we inspect a spider running along the ground, looking at the tiny tracks it leaves behind it.

Next David and tash have found some coyote tracks for us to look at, we all get down on our stomachs putting ourselves in opposite of the sun. After a few minates David calls us over to talk about the possible animal that the track could have been, then David says “Ok time for lunch and free time guys!”. As I sit and eat I realize how tired I am. I finish up my lunch and pull my hoodie over my head so I look like a ninja. I lay down and think “I’ll just lie down for a second…” I’m woken up forty minates later by Andrew.
