Cape Blanco Morning, Part 1:
Sunday (Feb. 9) was another beautiful day so Jerry and I decided to take a drive
out to Cape Blanco Park. We've been blessed with some wonderful weather
lately and since Cape Blanco can often be windy I figured it would be a good
time to again enjoy this wonderful park (click
here to visit our Feb. 5 'Cape Blanco Sunset' feature).
I took about 300 pics during this visit so I
will split this update into two features. Our first set of photos were
taken from the Cape Blanco Park roadway. The first and second pics are
west and east views of the Sixes River Valley, next is a zoomed pic of the old
farmhouse seen in the first image. The next row starts with two shots of
the Sixes River outlet. The last photo is a zoomed view of Patrick's Rock,
seen in the second row, bottom left image.
  
  
We drove down to the Historic Hughes House and
took this next set of pics. The Hughes family used to own a dairy farm on
what is now Cape Blanco State Park. You can learn more about the Hughes
House by visiting the Friends
of Cape Blanco website... HughesHouse.org.
  
  
Our next stop is at the entrance to the Cape
Blanco headland and lighthouse. I pieced together the image below to form
this panoramic view of the headland, this thumbnail when opened will be around
2.5 times the width of most computer display settings so you'll have to scroll
side to side (pic size is 2070x600).
Below are more views of the Cape Blanco
lighthouse and headland. You can learn more about the lighthouse by
visiting the Friends of Cape
Blanco's CapeBlanco.org website.
  
   
Below are views looking north towards the Sixes
River outlet as seen from the headland entrance.
  
  
Don't forget to visit our recent Oregon Pics
features highlighted below.
