We continue our trek down the 101 to Coos Bay, OR.
The 101 is an old highway literally dug into the sides of many mountains as it winds it's way along the coast of Washington, Oregon and Northern California. It' not unusual to find large patched areas where the road had collapsed. This is the beginning of one of those places.
Wondering if this group of Sea Lions are the females the males up north were waiting for?? They don't seem to be in a big hurry to go anywhere.
Looking straight down the cliff at the opening of a possible sea cave. The sea lions seemed to like it.
Heceta Head Lighthouse is one of Phil's favorites, and apparently the worlds. It is pegged to be one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world.
Umpqua Light is unique because of it's red lens. The houses around the light use to be CG, but don't appear to be any longer.
Part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area are directly in front of the Umpqua Light
Part of the lands around the light have been given back to the Native Tribes
This is the house Phil owned in his past life in Coos Bay. He remodeled the entire house after work and on the week ends
The shop where Phil worked during the four years he was stationed in Coos Bay. They allowed him entrance and let him go through the shop albums
The above list goes with the picture below, the close up of Phil is also from the photo below.
Picture on the right goes with the list below
This is Cape Arago Light. We have a painting at home of the scene above, painted by a lady who lived in Coos Bay when Phil was there.
