After our one day stay at Nehalem Bay State Park, we travelled south along
US Highway 101 to Florence, Oregon to meet our friends from Utah. We stayed about 14 miles north of Florence
near Heceta Head Lighthouse in Carl Washburne State Park. Heceta Head Light House is one of the best known and most photographed light houses in Oregon. But this year it is being restored and is under 'wraps' right now, so not very photogenic at the moment.

Washburne State Park was a gem with a trail to the
lighthouse and several other trails to the beach. But the weather turned cold. It only got up to 60 most days and if the sun
came out, so did the wind and that made it feel even colder. My beach attire was jeans and a fleece jacket
– forget the string bikini. (Ok, so I don’t really own one of those…) Lots of fine Clam Chowder warmed us up and we
enjoyed sight seeing with our friends, Carla and Jerry.
