Rewinding time slightly to our adventures on the east coast earlier this summer, we spent an afternoon in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area which runs along perhaps a quarter of the coast of Oregon and is entirely a State Park.
Besides people such as ourselves that were out for a walk there were a ridiculous number of people with ATVs or tricked out pickups that were driving around as fast as they could on parts of these dunes. Fortunately the areas for driving like a crazy and walking were separated but I still don't get the appeal of going very fast through something that you could be walking through and enjoying instead.
There were also a great number of little blobby shapes washed up on the beach. We asked around and were told they were a kind of jellyfish, but poking them with sticks we were unable to see any resemblance between them and the other jellyfish we've seen. Very neat.

That jellyfish thingamajig is awesome! It has a really yummy-looking colour, too. :)
