Oregon Dunes July 16-18

**robg** · 06-29-2010, 06:41 PM

I'm planning a trip to the Oregon Dunes for July 16-18. I've never been and am not really sure which are the best of the three dune areas to visit... Florence, Winchester, Coos Bay. Anybody know?

Also if anybody wants to join me, please feel free. A friend is coming up from Reno, and the more, the merrier! I only have my 525 IRS with me now that I'm in Salem (that and my Sportsman). We were going to get a motel rather than try to deal with RVs.

Hey, I just thought of something...

The dunes at Winchester Bay and Coos Bay... are they trail-like or more open? My paddles are the SRA offset, so they stick way out on my IRS. I'm wondering if that's going to be a problem.

The best thing to do would be to hit all three spots which could easily be done since they are only a half hour apart. Then you can decide which spot you like best! Any trails will be wide enough for your tires, some of the tree shots will be a little more challenging
