Dragonflies & Headwinds

Newport to Florence (my reminder)

The title really tells it how it was, headwinds and dragonflies. We were battling the wind all day and winding up and down a couple decent hills. Lots of sweating and gulping down of water too. Some pretty viewpoints that we stopped at but just chugged along since the wind was not our friend today. 

As for dragonflies, I don't know if its common for that stretch but I've never seen so many dragonflies zipping from place to place, like a great migration you would see on Planet Earth or something. Many were lying dead on the ground as well as heading to and from the ocean.

We zipped down into Florence and stayed the evening at Aaron Vandahay's place and he took us to some great Mexican food and to some awesome sand dunes where him and Rodney used to sandboard and practice tricks. Amazing how the dunes shift and grow and spread into the highway and sit peacefully next to a lake. We hiked around a couple then had a lazy evening watching a movie and catching up.
