We had a nice Shabbos in our BLM camping location. Yesterday was the first sunny day we’ve had in some time, and it was beautiful. I went on an afternoon walk that included circling a small reservoir and walking along the bayside beach across the street from the RV. I’m glad most folks prefer paying to park cheek-by-jowl in a campground.
This morning we awoke to another beautiful day. We left the RV behind and drove out to the beach, where M used the ATV safety certificate he had earned on Friday to legally drive his motorcycle on the beach:
M could achieve about 25 MPH on the wet sand, the legal speed limit here. I was a bit slower due to my weight, and look to be practicing for the circus:
B took a spin as well with M running along side:
He’s pretty happy:
Along the beach we saw hundreds of what I think are Sea Butterflies. The brown object is their stomach:
Lots of kelp too:
An amazing jellyfish:
After lunch, we drove to a dune field where I did my first unpowered paragliding. It’s a bit hard to tell, but my shadow is mostly hidden by B, and I’m three or four feet off the ground:
Trish also did her first successful forward launch today!
On the way home, we went into Coos Bay and did a bit of shopping. We returned to the RV towards sunset:
Finally, some sunny days at the beach!

What prevents a thief from taking the RV when you leave it to go shopping?
We have an aftermarket hitch lock that prevents a vehicle from hitching up to the trailer. We also always leave one slide out on each side, so that even if the hitch lock was defeated, they would have to figure out how to retract the slides to avoid taking up two lanes when driving down the road.
Since I know this will be your next question, I keep my backup drives in the truck so if one gets stolen, I don’t loose my data. I also burn and mail 25GB BluRayRWs to my parents for off-site backup. 🙂
