Today was a bright and sun filled day on the Oregon coast with another lighthouse to be seen. The drive ended with us spending the night at Honeyman State Park. (Thanks Walt for this state park suggestion.) Here is a sample of what we saw along our way today.

| Devil's Caldron. |
 |
| A mile walk up hill to Heceta Head Lighthouse. |
 |
| Another walk around in circles. |
Each lighthouse we have seen has been uniquely different. Todays was the only remaining lighthouse in the USA using an English made Fresnel lense. All other lighthouse have French made equipment. It is a fully functional lighthouse and the lense was turning as I reached the top today. For a guy who loves mechanical things the inner working of the lighthouse were fun to watch.

| Good views from up high. |
Eva continues to hike with us and is always ready for a good walk. As I look at our lighthouse reference map I can see that we are about half way down the Oregon coast with 5 more lighthouses to visit. 5 down and 5 to go. I hope you are not getting tired of my lighthouse obsession, it will change to something new in about a week. We'll see what it is when it happens.

Life is good in all colors. It's been a very green day today.
