Day 7 was a trip to Heceta Head Lighthouse, after a morning of coffee we were off to the Light House at 9:45.  We had a appointment at 10:15 for our walk up to the light house.

We are heading up the trail towards the light house.  It is about a half mile walk.

Some great views from the trail on the way up the trail.

 What a great group of people we are with, they are enjoying the view from up here.

This group just got done with their tour of the light house, we went in next and it was very informative to learn how each light house has its on signal from a 10 second delay to up to a minute.  Some have different color lights and even a different paint scheme.  This helped the ship navigator no where they are located on the coast.

We were not able to go up into the light house because they were doing a constructional test of the stairway before they open it up again, it looks sound to me.

  We had a great morning and everyone went different way now, some went to the Sea Lions Caves and others went exploring the town of Florence.

 I have always like taking pictures of the surf breaking on the rocks,  During the winter you can get some great pictures.

 There is also a lot of tidal pools along the coast.

We finished the day by going to the Three Rivers Casino for a great Buffet.  The food was great and we even got a senior discount, which made it even better.
