Lakeside, Oregon High 52 Low 45
I’m beginning to see a pattern in the weather. It rained
most of the night, was not raining for about 2 hours this morning, and then
rained off and on the rest of the day. At one time it was raining a lot harder
than anything we have seen while we have been in Oregon. It still beats the
snow and cold they have had in Utah.
We left the Casino at about 12:00. We had about a 50 minute
ride to the next RV Park. This one is Osprey Point RV Resort. We came here with
Passport America for about $22.50 per day. This is a little more than I was
expecting, but like everything else, the prices have gone up since Passport
America published its book. This price does include cable TV with about 75
channels, 50 amp power, and Wi-Fi at our fiver. It is pretty fast internet.
After we got parked and hooked up, we drove to Coos Bay to
see one of Cindy’s old transportation directors from Ogden Utah. She worked for
First Student in Ogden and requested the transfer. Her name is Becky, and she
and Cindy had a short, but nice visit. It has been three or four years since
she moved to Coos Bay. She is now the transportation director for First Student
(the school buses in Coos Bay).
We then went to Wal-Mart for a few things, and then tried to
go to one of the quilt shops in Coos bay, but for the winter it is closed on
Monday. We don’t know if we will get back to this particular store, but we
shall see.
The three lighthouses I had on the post the other day are:
First: Yaquinq Head Lighthouse. It is 3 miles north of
Newport. It is a 93 foot tower 162 feet above sea level. It is the tallest on
the Oregon coast, and was first illuminated in 1873.
Second: Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. It is at the north end of
Yaquina Bay bridge in Newport. It was in service for only 3 years, from 1871 to
1874, before being replaced by the brighter Yaquina Head lighthouse. It is 42 feet tall and 161 feet above sea level.
Third: Heceta Head Lighthouse. It is located 13 miles north
of Florence. It stands 56 feet tall and is 205 feet above sea level. It was
first put in service in 1894, and is now the brightest light on the Oregon
coast.
This is a picture explaining how the lighthouses were put
into law.
We then went back to the fiver and are relaxing after our grueling
drive today. LOL
Thanks for visiting.
