Cape Blanco State Park

Port Orford, OR

Not only were we not able to get a signal on our satellite but we also have not been able to receive any local TV channels with our antenna.  I had recorded many hours of programming on our DVR so we were able to watch TV for a couple of hours last night.

We are tossing around the idea of ordering a tailgater for circumstances like this where the dish is blocked by trees.  Con: the cost ($350) and storage.

Pro: we would be assured of receiving a signal in almost any situation between the tailgater and our roof mounted unit. 

What to do!  What to do!

These are our resident bunnies.

I made French toast for brunch and then did some homework. There are so many facts to learn for our tours. 

We took a ride back to the lighthouse to take a tour so we could pick up some pointers from Lee and Carol in the lighthouse and Norm and Cheryl in the Greeting Center.

These pictures were taken from the bluff on the lighthouse road.

Is this really June?

Monte’s hat blew off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luckily it didn’t go far.

 

 

 

 

 

  

And he was able to retrieve it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the warm car.

The town of Orford is less than 10 miles from the campground. 

 

 

We took a ride to get familiar with the town. 

A couple of deer we encountered on a road we turned down to explore.

After a stop into the library to check out the hours and WiFi situation,

 

we stopped in at Rays’ Market for a few grocery items.

Sheep we encountered on another side road.

After dinner we took a walk down to the beach. 

 

 

 

And then a walk around the campground.

This is one of four cabins available at the campground 

I'm not sure what kind of flower this is but the colors are so vibrant.
