Cape Blanco State Park, Sixes,Oregon

Our drive took longer than anticipated (nothing new there), but after a disappointing lunch of Pacific oysters, we finally arrived at Cape Blanco State Park on June 2, 2012.

Our site was ready and so were we.  It is a lovely setting.


We settled in, got a quick, very quick orientation, then took Hobbes to the beach for his first ocean experience.  No photo because it takes them an hour to load!

Sunday a.m. we checked back in to the lighthouse to prep for our duties which begin in the afternoon.  Folks subbed for us yesterday, so we repay the favor this afternoon,, then we are back on the original schedule with no debts to repay.  


Jim served his first gig in the lantern room.


The lighthouse is lovely.  Oregon's most westerly, it sits on a spit of land that projects into the ocean.  It is also the oldest continually operating lighthouse in Oregon.  It was first lighted December 20, 1870.



The beaches are also lovely.  We have walked both evenings and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Hobbes especially likes being free to run and run.

We are congratulating ourselves on having gotten ourselves a great gig for the month of June.
