Hiked about (Fitbit on the fritz) eight miles total to and from the Heceta Head Lighthouse. The trail took me through a lush coastal forest and fern-covered meadow before ascending to view the lighthouse from above. After that terrific sight, walked down to the lighthouse itself, the keepers’ house, and the beach. Built in 1894, three keepers kept the oil flames aglow until electricity arrived in 1934 and reduced the need for keepers.

The latter part of the day consisted of splitting logs – first time I’ve used an axe! – and the usual RV chores – cooking, cleaning, refilling fresh water tanks, and dumping black and gray tanks.

Relaxed in the evening with my campfire and grilled salmon and salad.  🙂
