Neskowin for Lunch

We headed over to Neskowin for lunch and to check out Proposal Rock.  There’s a great little cafe by the creek.

 

 

Here are the two of us!

Heather let the sand get to her toes.  It’s a nice feeling being on the beach.

 

Having lunch.  The pizza there is quite good.

Cape Meares Lighthouse

This beautiful little lighthouse is a great place to go check out on a sunny day.  The Cape Meares Lighthouse has an incredible history that the volunteers who open up the building in the summer are happy to tell you all about.

Some of the rotation mechanism for the light.

Because the cape is so tall, the lighthouse doesn’t have to be.

Looking inside the lens assembly.  Someone shot at the lighthouse a few years back and damaged a few of the lenses.

It’s a very pretty little light house!

The Octopus Tree

We headed up onto Cape Meares to check out the Octopus Tree and the view.

The famous octopus tree!  It has a few less limbs than when I was a kid but it’s still really cool to check out.

Looking south toward Oceanside.  The hidden beach that you have to get to through the lava tube is visible from this angle.
