Oregon to California --- Along the Coast

Driving down the coast on Highway 101 has been an unforgettable experience.  I am kicking myself for not keeping better stats on how many lighthouses we’ve seen.  Here’s a small sample.

Top: Cape Blanco Lighthouse (Port Orford, OR), Bottom: Coquille River Lighthouse (Bandon, OR) and Battery Point Lighthouse (Crescent City, CA)

Oregon seems to have a really great state park system.  Many of the prettiest beaches and viewpoints have been included in the park system so that everyone can enjoy them – even horses.

I love seeing sea lions hanging out on the rocks or, in this case, on the docks of a nearby marina.  I kept getting closer to get a good photo, but these guys definitely looked better than they smelled.  Best viewed from a distance!
