We next met up with some other fellow workampers from Mesa at their current job on the coast of OR – at Umpqua Lighthouse Park. The weather was much more to my liking, parked in the shade it was a high of a crisp 64!
There were more berries here but these were huckleberries. Red and purple as well as some other berries that our hosts knew a bunch about.
We took a walk around a pond that was a mile loop that had a side path that went to the lighthouse. The most interesting thing about the area was the white sand dunes and the recreation available. I thought for about a minute that it might be nice to be here for the summer and then a thought occurred. I bet there are quite a few mosquito’s here and we all know how I get along with those little buggers. This fact was confirmed by our friends so while it is a nice play to visit, I don’t want to workamp here.
We stopped to see our niece and saw some wildlife in her front yard.
From there we decided to make a full days journey and go straight on through all of CA to our resting spot. We passed an active fire.
Here is the local parking lot we stopped at. Didn’t leave much spare room does it!
