Another Lighthouse

Saturday, December 11th Dad and I drove Michael from Fushing, Blount's agent in Taiwan, to Corvallis to see his son who is going to Oregon State University. Corvallis is about three hours south of Portland. After we helped Michael find his son, rent a car and have lunch at a Chinese noodle place we headed for the coast. The drive to the coast took about an hour and a half. The weather wasn't the best. It was drizzling and cool. We were on a mission to find the whale center at Depot Bay though. This is the time of year to view the gray whales heading south.  We were unable to get to Depot Bay before the whale center closed but we added another lighthouse picture to our repertoire of lighthouse pictures. Our goal is to travel the entire west coast of Portland taking pictures of all the lighthouses. Even with all the drizzle and fog we had a great time. The ocean has always had a mesmerizing affect on Dad and I. We could sit for hours and listen to the waves crash against the shore.
