Cape Blanco Lighthouse


While I was in Tucson, Bob and Pralines decided to visit Cape Blanco Lighthouse.  Since I didn't see this lighthouse I will have to tell you what the tourist info says about it.  Cape Blanco is the oldest standing lighthouse on the Oregon coast:  commissioned in 1870 to aid shipping generated by gold mining and the lumber industry.  This started Bob on a mission to see all 9 lighthouses on the Oregon Coast.

Like I said, I don't know much about this as I was in Tucson.  I returned to Portland, Oregon on Tuesday, May 24th.  Bob picked me up at the airport after a 6 hour flight.  I flew from Tucson to Vegas. then Vegas to Salt Lake City and then to Portland.  After closing up moms house in the morning, turning in her Comcast devices and traveling all day, I was beat. Bob had made reservations at a La Quinta near the airport and I was most grateful to not have a 6 to 7 hour drive home.  I was too tried to go out to eat so we ordered a pizza. The next morning a little more rested we headed to Brookings.  By the time we got home around 4:00 p.m. I sure didn't want to ride in anything for awhile, but the next morning we headed to Coos Bay, Oregon.  We stayed a nice RV park at The Mill Casino.
