Stormy Seas, Heavy Rains,.....but then Sun Breaks !

In 1778, Captain Cook, came to this part of the Oregon coast, named it Cape Foulweather, and moved on.  The Captain and his crew were tired of the rough seas and constant downpours.

Well.....We arrived at Cape Foulweather, where this lighthouse now resides, and stopped to watch the wild ocean.  The rains stopped, the sun came out, and we enjoyed what the Captain erred in not checking out!

We've been driving down the Oregon coast watching the coast change from rocky shores to long stretches of sand. 
Our day ended early today after a stop at the Newport Aquarium, pulling into Tillicum Campgound where we are less than 100 ft from the ocean.  Ruthie's doing her "Jack" needlepoint and I'm blogging.  How relaxing.

We're sleeping tonight with the windows open so we can hear the ocean that's only steps away. Who cares the temp is 46 tonight! t
