Cape Blanco State Park

Port Orford, OR

The cold and wind kept us in pretty much the entire day.  We spent a few hours doing research on lighthouses, keepers and life in the 1870s.

In the afternoon, we braved the weather outside and I gave Monte a much needed haircut.  It came out okay considering I rushed because I was cold.

After dinner we took a walk down the trail leading to the Horse Camp. 

There are eight primitive sites, four single -horse corrals, and two double corrals available.

There is a seven-mile horse trail and a 150-acre open riding area across from the horse camp.

Continuing on down the road we stopped at the Pioneer Cemetery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are only a few graves-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

most of the dates of death were in the early 1900s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back home, we settled in for the night grateful for the warmth of the fireplace.
