Where's the sun?



Well, we finally ran into the famous Northwest overcast and mist. Really no rain to speak of. We have either been lucky or just picked the right time of year to do the Oregon coast.

The dogs ran free on this beach and had a great time, but Pip needed his bath before coming in the rig.

The Hecetas Head Lighthouse north of Florence is in a beautiful location; you can reserve a room in the lighthouse keepers home . . . if you start calling 6 or more months in advance. Because of its setting, this view is the most photographed lighthouse view on the Oregon Coast. I have to remind myself that the reason it is there is because of the propensity for ships to be lost on the shoals nearby. It was built of course as a matter of life and death rather than beauty.
