Cape Disappointment

Today was a catchup day.  We are in Long Beach, Washington, in a place called Anderson"s RV Park.  We are on a peninsula between the Pacific and a large bay called Willapa.  They say 1/6th of the oysters produced in the US comes from that bay.  All I know is that they are really good.
We did laundry and some housekeeping this morning, the went for a little sightseeing.  The first stop was an overlook of the Columbia River headlands.

From reading the attached pictures, you can see it is a rather dangerous piece of water.

All those shipwrecks led to the building of the Cape Disappointment light house.  Here are a couple of picturs along with one of the light keepers house.

Those that know me well will appreciate the fact that we visited a place called Cape Disappointment today.  We plan to change travel direction tomorrow and head East rather than North.  I have a tendency to feel disappointed on such days.  I want the travel and vacation to go on forever, but it's not to be.  We have had a great time the last five weeks, and still have another couple to go before arriving back home. It will be great to see family and friends again.

  I went down to the beach again tonight to get a few parting shots.  A couple looked pretty good and one in paticular caught my eye.

Starting tomorrow, just like these pelicans, we'll be heading toward home.
