Cape Blanco's North Beach

We enjoyed our last few days at the lighthouse.  We managed to get in one hike on the north beach starting at the Hughes house rv parking lot.

We walked about a 1/2 mile to the beach right where the Sixes River enters the ocean.

Along the river, we saw this gaggle of geese.....

This is the point of entry for the Sixes River.

This stretch of beach is lovely....always one of our favorites.

The focus as we walk---the lighthouse.

On this trek, we made it all the way to the end of the north beach and the lovely, shiny black rocks.

Hobbes seems able to always find a starfish,

and Jim found plenty of "soft logs" upon which to rest.

 One look at all these rocks and one can understand why a lighthouse was a necessary navagational aide in the 18th century.

A long walk back through the pasture grasses.....

and we once again enjoyed the flora of the Cape.  Many wild iris...

cow parsnips,

and other lovelies in our vicinity.
