We arrived at the destination for our first night in the US just before sunset. Cannon Beach, Oregon is a popular holiday spot and is well known for its giant haystack rock halfway down the beach. A gap in the clouds treated us to a green flash as the sun passed down behind the horizon (Davon thought that seeing a green flash was a BIG deal! She was really excited). After some authentic Mexican food and soak in the hot tub we collapsed in our Murphy bed for the night.
In the morning we continued down the Pacific Coast Highway. Barb (Davon’s mom) was keen to go dune buggying so we ventured off the highway to see if we could locate dunes/buggies for some fun. Unfortunately, April is too wintery for the Oregon Coast tourism industry and there were no dune buggies to be rented. Tim (Barb’s boyfriend), the gentleman that he is, tried to provide us with the experience of dune buggying by entering the sand dunes in the large 4x4 truck. Davon’s cautious warning “This is NOT a good idea” was soon realised as the weighted down truck was stuck in soft sand for about 5 minutes. Eventually, Tim succeeded to break free and reverse the truck back at speed down the sand track before we were enroute again.
