We had a busy, happy September at Heceta Head Lighthouse and Washburne Campground. Susie and Mike, our true Oregon friends, finished their Host month and we hated to end our great team. We'll do a repeat performance someday. The September Lighthouse Host crew was such a 'good time' group that we hope to be back next Sept. Our weekly campfires were non stop laughs and funny adventure stories. We had a great visit from Terry's, Uncle Rex, and saw more of the area than we ever had thanks to his "Let's go" attitude. We went down to Coos Bay and Shore Acres SP to visit our previous Host friends, Art and Janette. What a beautiful place! We had a 'personal tour of the gardens' and the rocky headlands with gigantic waves crashing across them. (It's off the beaten path of Rt. 101, but so worth it!!) We weathered and cleaned up from a big 2 day storm- 45 mph gusts and over 3 inches of rain.
And now it's October. This month we will just be working at the Campground. With fewer travelers this month, we won't be so busy and hope to have more walks on the beach and hikes in the area. I've started Line Dance classes in Florence, very different dances. (I knew one, Stealing the Best with an Irish tune I don't know.) I am challenged but learning.
Every day we marvel at the beauty that surrounds us and LOVE living here waking up to the sound of the waves rolling in!
Here are some pictures from our visit to Yellowstone, summer home of Ranger Anthony. He and Molly visited with us each day and introduced us to some great restaurants and pubs in West Yellowstone. The wildlife gave us a great show too! It's such fun learning a National Park from the professionals!
Yellowstone Canyon colors were stunning after a rainstorm!
The bison in Hayden Valley were also leading traffic down the road for a close encounter.
We hadn't visited Norris Geyser Basin before and it was such an array of colors and steam!
Just left of middle in that field are my first 2 Sandhill Crane sightings! Get the magnifier for this one!
There's so much to see, so little time!
