| Location Carter Dunes Trail Hike |
| Where: Oregon Dunes National Scenic Area |
| With inland temperatures reaching 90 to 100 degrees daily we decided to escape to the coast where we could enjoy temps in the 60 to 70 degrees. We got the last campsite at the Carter Lake Campground where we paid for a two night stay. |
