In May, I attended a teacher workshop for Project Learning Tree, an environmental education program, on the coast for a couple days. On my way there, I stopped at an elk viewing station. I was surprised by the number of elk I saw there.




Next, I stopped to get a glimpse of the Oregon Dunes, which extend about 40 miles along the OR coast. Sadly, these unique formations are frequented by many ATV's, which make them a poor site for peace and quiet.
