Move to Cape Blanco State Park

We left Gold Beach this morning headed north along the coast on Hwy 101 to Cape Blanco State Park, intending to visit the Cape Blanco Lighthouse tomorrow. Oops, it's closed on Mondays, so we'll hang around a day and see it on Tuesday.

The campground is wonderful, with large sites and lots of greenery to provide privacy. It looks like most of it may be large berry bushes. Another case of poor timing, since the berries don't ripen until late summer (and I love berries!).

We like the seclusion provided by the trees and shrubs. Our campsite has a wide grassy area right outside our door--open but surrounded by the woods.


We tried our best to find a site that would offer a view of the southern sky so we could set up our HughesNet dish, but no luck. The elevation is only 29 degrees, and we're surrounded by trees. Fortunately, the Verizon modem is working, though a bit slowly and unevenly.
