| Location Oregon Dunes Overlook Hike |
| Where: Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area |
Jeanette coerced our friend Eddie Harrod into coming to Elkton for coffee and joining us for a hike. He has done quite a few hikes with us, but the Oregon Dunes Overlook Area trails were ones that he hadn't. We ended up with perfect weather for the day.
