The Keeper of the light!
This was the tour guide who told us all about the light house, dressed in old authentic atire. He almost looks like a statue.
That little man down at the bottom is Leland. I am at the top looking out the window taking his picture.
Sorry for the mix up in pictures. I don't know how to move them to where i want them. This was a picture i snapped of the waves crashing into shore. I have a great video of them too.
This is a picture of the Yaquina head lighthouse staircase, holding my camera out and snapping a picture going down. I was too afraid to look over the rail and take the picture. I still can't believe i climbed to the top with Jamie and Toni.
A beautiful view of the ocean using a swap color on my camera. You can see the ocean is blue but the rest is black and white.
We hiked up to Munson Falls. So beautiful.

This is Yaquina Head Light house. The most photographed lighthouse. It was so awesome. One of the tallest lighthouses we saw. Again I used a color swap with my camera and i liked how it turned out with the blue sky.




This is Cape Meres. Small but beautiful

The path to Cape Meres Light house.

This was on the road from Garberville to Fort Bragg. We were going to stay in Garberville but the motel was a dump. The head boards were bolted to the wall, the linolium floors were worn and the place was a bit frightful. We went to eat at a resteraunt and the least expensive thing on the menu was $25. We decided to drive on. After we did, well watch for yourself. We named the road the entrence to Hell's Grove.
