Backtracking - Oregon Coast

I hit the coast pretty early in the morning and rolled on. I really wanted to check out the so called "dunes" so I decided to camp near some. I imagined it would go: woods, 10 ft of sand, then ocean.
But what really happens is



Just to be clear, that's: woods, crap load of dunes, then ocean which you can barely see.

I explored a little, I took some video of the off road people, but its all over the place. Tent held up ok though. It rained off and on all night and I didn't get soaked! Packing up the tent in the rain was terrible though. Oh and it was freezing at night. Mer - you were right I should have taken another sweatshirt. I went and bought one.

Also, this is just my words of advice (take it or please feel free to leave it), if you take a shower when its cold out, make sure you have a towel. Damp hair is one thing, damp body was brutal. And as an added bonus if i turned up the heat in the car the windows fogged up HOOOLLLLA!!!

(I forgot to mention before: Fun fact: Did you know that "rear defroster" is considered an option on cars, like heated seats or cruise control? At least on this rental car its an option, an option I apparently don't have.)
