Cape Blanco State Park

Port Orford, OR

We were working the AM shift in the Greeting Center today.  Part of our responsibility is to take a wind reading. 

Normally we have readings from 30-45 MPH.  Today there was NO wind to measure.  Between the lack of wind and the strong sun it was actually quite warm and wonderful.

Lee, who was working in the lantern room,

 had to sweep off the dead birds from the outside ledge. 

We had only one visitor the first hour but then there were non-stop visitors the remainder of our shift.

 

 

 

 

After a quick lunch, we took our laptops into the library to use the internet.  I had copied down the library hours from their website and was under the impression that Thursday they were open until 8pm.

BUT at 5:50 an announcement was made that the library was closing in ten minutes. 

We picked up a few grocery items before heading back to the campground.

We were disappointed for the second night in a row not to see any whales on our nightly walk down to the bluff overlooking the beach.
