We met up with Evan (Team#2 member) at the Newport library a day before our departure, and we decided to coordinate a Team meeting two days from then: the next stop would be at the Jessie M. Honeyman State Park, famous for its dunes! (the campsite is close to Florence)

The dunes that inspired Frank Herbert to write the Dune novels

Having our last breakfast with our Californian friends

The dunes were indeed huge (probably miles in all directions), and there was a lake with warm water. We realized we were a bit late within our schedule so we had to up the pace by quite a bit if we wanted to make it on time to San Francisco. We had our last Oregon breakfast with our friends, and from there on we would have to focus on distance.

Distance covered: 89.5km

Total distance so far: 1164km
