Oregon Coast

After my Mt rainier trip (see next blog - i put them in the wrong order) I went to the Oregon coast, but I got lucky and was able to see three cute stinkers (including a very new stinker) at their new home in Oregon (oh yeah, I also got to see Jen and Eric...yawn) ........................................... just kidding jen&eric
A view of the coast line and the Haceta lighthouse in the background

The crashing wave in the background is about 40 feet tall- caused when waves hit the rock wall along the shore (I couldnt find anyone to stand next to the wave to get a better scale on it.)


This is a horn which is a hole in the rock that allows water to spout when the tide is high enough and the crashing waves hit the shore.



This is the old lighthouse keepers house at Haceta Lighthouse. It is now a B&B - Right on cliff overlooking the ocean - you can see this house three pictures above that shows the coast line and the lighthouse




This is a pretty waterfall at the top of the more famous Multnomah Waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge (just east of Portland)
