Cape Arago is not easy to find, and since it is owned by area tribes it is not open to the public. This is about as good as a photo as we could get and we tried from several locations. The original lighthouse was built in 1866 and then again in 1908, both succumbing to weather and erosion.
After locating Cape Arago, we stumbles across Shore Acres Botanical Gardens and what a find. Originally the private summer home of shipbuilder and lumberman Louis J. Simpson, the gardens were purchased by the state in 1942.
The flowers were in full bloom and the colors were vibrant.
The quietness and beauty were just what our spirits needed.
Like I said what a find!!!
