November 2, Cape Blanco State Park

We started off our day by driving up Coast Guard Hill and couldn't really see a whole lot. We would need to do a 3 mile hike to get the best views. Gene and I were not up to hiking. So we headed back down and toured the Visitor's Center and the port. We had lunch at the Crazy Norwegians and had the best fish and chips yet!! Then we headed north to Cape Blanco State Park. We were hoping to see the light house. We got as far as the sign and the closed gate. Tours stopped the end of October. So we took a tour of the campgrounds, which were very nice and roomy. Then drove down to the Hughes House. The Hughes family came there in the late 1800's and built their home and dairy business. Of course it was closed as well. We were several miles out from the main road and I can't imagine living out here, raising a family, running a business etc. The house was a gorgeous late 1800's home. Wish we could have seen inside.

This was as close as we could get to the lighthouse.
This was the view to the north. A gorgeous coast line.
