Dunes at Sunset

The dunes of Oceano, California at Pacific Dunes RV Resort are so special.  They draw you into them to play in the soft beige sand no matter what your age.  We hit the sand just before sunset.  Awesome! 

We were not alone.  Another couple well ahead of us far out on the dunes were drawing in the sand, taking photographs and laughing, too.  Two women with cocktails strolled next to us initially then veered off to the left to see the sunset from a closer bluff.  We had further to go in our minds toward the ridge, a glimpse of the ocean and the setting sun.  After several minutes, we looked back to see the women who’d achieved their destination.  A man and his dog, J.J. and “Rocky” after a long day’s work of cleaning our coach, were out unwinding tight muscles in the yielding sand also.  Enjoying a mental massage, if not a physical one, both dog and man seemed content to end their day in this marvel of nature.

 

Our time was constrained by the sun slipping down into the Pacific.  There was no way I really wanted to be out there forging my way back through the sand in the dark.  So we turned and returned to the coach followed by all of our other companions.  It was a good way to end a long and busy day.  Our time here has come and gone again.  Sadly, we have no time to linger this year.  But I am assured that there are many more events down the road that will capture our camera and our attention.  That only leaves us with the opportunity to get going and find them.  For that we are both ready!  And we will be leaving in a very nice looking, clean coach.
