| Location Tenmile Creek Revisted |
| Where: Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area |
I was anxious to make another effort at a good route along Tenmile Creek while it was still fresh on my mind, so with Jeanette and our friend Janet, we returned for a second try. A vast network of illegal OHV tracks has left a confusing maze of possibilities. I hoped by using a mapping GPS I would be able to lay out a good hiking route.
