As I checked into the the RV park today, the registration attendant said that this part of the Oregon coast gets almost all of its rain in the months prior to summer. From mid-June to mid-September, they receive very little rain. Then he followed up that statement with, "this cold rainy weather is very unusual for this time of year". Apparently, we timed our trip just perfectly to appreciate the unusual weather!
All things considered, the weather actually cooperated quite a bit. The rain stopped long enough for us to enjoy the sand dunes. Our RV campground was right on the edge of the Oregon Sand Dunes State Park. Thankfully, we had purchased saucers when we were at the White Sands. We put them to good use here, and the hills were much bigger. I'd guess that some of the hills were about 200 feet long with a 80 to 100 foot elevation change.
