Do you have any weekday availability or just weekends? I've noticed its significantly dead there on weekdays is all, went today and the parking lot was full, tons of SxS's and quads, dirt bikes, etc. Saw 1 brand new JLUR and I talked to them for a bit. They were already having mystery grinding noises, lol.I'm down. I've been wanting to go there. PM me next time you want a buddy.
Man, you should have mentioned you were going I was probably there or nearby! I did see a TJ like yours (same color body/top) but it had a soft top, so it most likely wasn't you. Very cool though, glad to see another TJ getting to the coast. If/when you go back, let me know and we can run a trail together sometime.Just did two days on the dunes. Day one we launched out of the Spinreel OHV staging area. Big parking lot. Towed my TJ with my 40 foot motor home no sweat. It was off season so plenty of open spaces. July might not be so open.
Spinreel was good but more suited to ATV’s I think. Steep hills and jumps. Next day went up Near Dune city/Florence area.View attachment 130933 Launched out of direct access from loop H at Jessie M Honeyman State Park. Great RV camping there. Amazing sand. Flat open areas, huge dunes and trails. Easy drive to the beach and as challenging or easy an area as you choose.
EJD - Thanks. I’m leaving Jessie M Honeyman today and headed down to Medford area. I’d love to see your rig or go wheelin. Not sure how to contact you.

Welcome to the forum too by the way!
Very cool, do you live in the Portland area? You might be interested sometime in going to the Tillamook State Forest and running a trail or two up that way. Let me know, you can contact by clicking a forum members name and there a private message button. Or you can tag people by using the @TJFreedom like this.EJD - Thanks.

Oh thanks I love it here. The white thing is just some marine debris that washed ashore. I like to pack out trash items that I come across if I can.Dude thats badass! Whats the white container hanging off your spare in pic # 8?
Indeed! Here’s a close up.The photos of the eagle and vulture . . . . they're sitting on a carcass. Sea lion ?
Well Sand Lake here is closer to you and you can trailer and camp (though camping here is now on a reservation basis instead of a first come first serve) like it was before the pandemic.Man I have to head down to OR. I went to school near Pismo but only rode dirt bikes there bit I LOVE THE SAND. so what's the best Oregon dune spot to hit with fam? Need a spot I can trailer to and pitch a tent.

Dispersed camping is still available here too but obviously you can’t trailer into the sand unless you have a beast of a tow truck.
Otherwise it’s Oregon Dunes NRA 2 hours south of Sand Lake, which is much bigger but also there are way more people there too...they both have pros and cons.
Sand is just so fun to Baja around and coastal sand dunes are where it’s at, such a unique experience. Let me know if you come down here, I’m always open to a meetup!
Wow sand lake sounds awesome. I'm going on first wheeling trip, if this goes well I'll be looking for more.and coastal Oregon is tops of list.

You can actually buy it at local agents all over the state local to you, or you can buy them online and have them shipped to you. But no not at the point of entry, there is a separate day use fee though.Can you get the permit at the point of entry, been wanting to head in there.
Thanks! It was nice to be back out there and enjoy some sand again with my kiddo. This time I did not air down but was running at 27. I like to toy around with pressures when I go, lowest I’ve been was 15 and highest I’ve been was 30.I love Sand Lake, it's a great place! Looks like a fun time, and awesome photos too!
Did you air down?
