A Visit to Heceta Head Lighthouse

 Here is the do's-n-don'ts sign at the parking lot for Heceta Head.  Hold on, there are not any do's so this is the don't sign.  See the number 94 on the upper right.  You use that if you have to call 911.  That's your location code so they know where you are at.  Most if not all of the scenic turnouts and attractions have a location code.

Recently refurbished too.   It is said that Heceta Head is the most photographed lighthouse in the country.

 Dizzy yet?

 Still not at the top but here in an observation window.

 Here is the rest stop.

The walking path to get to the lighthouse starts from a parking area down by this beach.  But

it is definitely worth the trip.  The views are spectacular. 

That light bulb casts a light up to 21 miles out to sea.

Yachats

 One of our favorite places to eat in quaint downtown Yachats is the Luna Sea Fish House

 You gotta try their Slumgullion.  It's clam chowder with white cheeses and bay shrimp then baked.

Literally you can get about 10" of melted cheese stringing off your spoon.  It will put a smile on your face.

 Just a few doors down is a ice cream & candy store.  You can find quirky ole' school candy here.

I didn't know you still could say stuff like that on packaging for children.

 This antique shop has old glass that fluoresces under black light.  Neat!

 Japanese flotsam surrounded by small animals called Velella velella.

 These small animals end up beached on the Oregon coast by the ten's of thousands when the ocean waves change direction.  They have a blueish color to their body that can stain driftwood.

You can see the blueish stain on the middle of this walking staff I hand carved out of the buried stick above.

Onward to the Oregon Coast

 This is on our way North going through the Sacramento area and came across these colorful median flowing plants.  Apparently CalTrans plants different types but these here might me Oleanders.

 Wow, just some of the sights available to enjoy on a roadtrip.  Although we use an rv specific gps notice the large map and the Next Exit book in front of the passenger/navigator's seat (the wife).

 We made it to our favorite place on the Oregon Coast.  The Sea Perch RV Resort in Yachats, Oregon gives you million dollar views being right on the beach.

This is what I've been wanting!  Ahhhhhhhh!

5 rows of waves are very cool.
