Oregon coast and lighthouses

[rmclarke]

Just got back from a nice camp out with the fam on the southern Oregon coast. Weather was kinda cool-ish...(like it usually is)...probably around 65 degrees
....but that's the way...uh huh..uh huh I like it!
It wasn't too windy and actually quite nice.

Stayed at Bullards Beach State park with my daughter and her family...then, when they went home on Sunday, we drove a bit further south
and stayed several days at Cape Blanco (supposedly the westernmost point in Oregon and the contiguous United States)

This is the Coquille River lighthouse at Bandon:

Looking north up the coast from Cape Blanco:


Looking south down the coast toward Port Orford and Humbug mountain
(nice state park there too):


Gratuitous shot of light coming through the trees at our campsite

Thanks everyone, glad you like the pics...hope to share some more before camping seasons over up here.

Sharon,
We're having a blast! So far we've camped out 17 days since mid July. Hope to squeeze in as many as we can ....hopefully thru Oct.

Wow!!! great pictures!! I'm jealous!!! I love lighthouses, and the Oregon coast is one of the areas I want to explore when I finally get a tear.

You have the most awesome galley, BTW!!!

Sunhopper? Grasshopper hybrid??? I want a grasshopper BAD!!! But I love your rig!!! What a galley!!!

DragonFire,

Thanks for the kind words....glad you enjoyed the pics....the southern Oregon coastline is one of my favorite places.

My trailer is a hybrid design. When I started, I 'borrowed' certain features from both the Grasshopper and the Sunspot....so, I call it a 'SunHopper' By the time I finished it, I had 'borrowed' lots of other ideas from a lot of good folks on this forum

I'm working on a logo emblem for it, but we just got too busy camping this summer to bother with it just now ....maybe this winter.
