Cape Blanco State Park, OR

October 8, 2015

We are camped at Cape Blanco State Park, near Bandon, OR.

Cape Blanco Lighthouse, is still a working light, automated and maintained by the CG, but the building and grounds are maintained by the Oregon Lighthouse Society.

The view was gorgeous!!

 This is what it looked like back in the day when the keepers house was there and everything was newer.
 Phil thinks this exposed cable might be some the CG put in many years ago


Our site at the state park, the light filtering through the trees is reflection off of the ocean. With the trees so thick, we didn't have much of a view, but we could hear the waves. The park was well taken care of, the site we were in was almost level.
 Although the concrete pad site was level, the site dropped off dramatically, so the back end of the rig was sort of hanging off the edge.

Phil took this picture at the trail head that leads to the cliff overlooking the beach.
 The end of the trail and then a sheer drop off to the beach, also a very far off view of the Cape Blanco Light
Zoomed in a little bit, you can almost tell there is a lighthouse there.
Phil must have been in this guys territory, the hawk (??) almost flew right into him as he was standing there taking pictures.
Looks like a predator of some sort...
