Yesterday we drove down to Newport, OR to see the two Yaquina head light houses. The original one was only in service for three years as the light was not far enough out in the bay and was rebuilt about a mile and a half north.The first one was built in 1873.
It has been restore by the local historical society and the Corp of Engineers. Very unusual as the light is built into the house for the light keeper and his family.
The new one has also been restored, but the house and all of the outbuildings have been destroyed. Spectacular view of the coast.
The circular stairway going up 104 steps.
this is the bridge on the south side of Newport and some pictures of the fishing fleet
and some crab pots
There are thousands of these pots in this area alone
Today we are moving about two miles south.
love to ya
Jim and Linda
