First Days at Cape Blanco

We have survived our first two guiding experiences, had a couple of days off, explored some of Port Orford, and experienced some fabulous walks on the beach.  This is a great spot!!!

This is Port Orford.  The port itself is to the right of the photo.
The boats do not anchor here, but are hoisted to the dock as they come to shore.

We noted a large stack of crab rings against a dramatic backdrop.

We found the dock's restaurant a good place for clam strips and a brew.

The visitor's center was closed, but we stopped to admire the door.

Hobbes thinks the beach is just the best thing in his young life.  He is certain he can catch a gull, even though he has not yet been successful.  He loves the freedom to run ...  

and to follow his nose wherever it takes him.

It would be difficult to say who enjoys our walks more.  I find them
 fascinating.  Did I mention there are rocks on this beach?  Not many shells or even shell fragments, but the rocks are really interesting. 


More about the beach later.  We have a full day on duty tomorrow........
