We are at it again. We cycled 1200 miles down the coast of Oregon, into California, over the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco. Then it was a ferry across the bay to Vallejo and a lovely side trip up the Napa Valley to Callestoga. That was the end of the bike portion of our trip.

Oregon Coast Lighthouses

The Oregon coast has plenty of lighthouses to be sure.  We tried to see as many as possible, but traveling by bike can pose its own set of problems.  We always investigated the route before venturing off in search of the lighthouse.  If it looked like we needed to go up a non-bicycle friendly hill or out too far into the wilderness, we opted to simply purchase a postcard!  But we certainly saw many great ones on our travels.  Here's a sampling:
Cape Mears

Cape Foulweather
It's no longer a working lighthouse, but I love the name.
We saw a whale right here!
