Today we went to the Hughes House. It was built in 1860 by James Hughes. After that we went to the Cape Blanco Lighthouse, where James Hughes worked. It was also the first lighthouse in the area it was built in 1870. It was cool. When we got back we went in the hot tub and pool again. :)
Summer's View
I really enjoyed the Hughes' House tour, and getting a glimpse of life in the early 1900's. Their house was quite a luxurious place in its day, with running water, and even hot and cold water!
The lighthouse tour was interesting, as we were able to climb up and stand right next to the lens while it rotated. Yes, it is still a working lighthouse!
Lunch in Port Orford was at a little place called The Crazy Norwegian, and it was good, although service was slow. Very busy little spot!
Jim's View
Visited an early settler's house in Oregon. Work, work, and work. Sam got some more education in early American settlers. He was amazed at the early washing machine. Just up the road we visited a lighthouse. Some more on hands classroom. Oregon is cool how the fog rolls in and out. And today was no exception.
From the lighthouse we rolled on down the road to Port Orford. The port of Port Orford is one of only six in the country where they sling the boats in and out of the water from and to dry dock. It was cool to see and still I am wondering why! Oh well, to each there own. Some recreational fishermen were in and cleaning some fish. They were more than happy to give us a lesson on the various fish they had caught. And yes, Summer is here, and here is the pic to prove it!
