North Head Lighthouse Near Ilwaco, Washington

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Long Beach RV Resort in Seaview, Washington. My scheduled departure date is July 10th.

Mary is dealing with her over-flowing to-do list plate which can only be handled by herself. The construction of Mary’s rental continues along…slowly. She now is hoping to rejoin me by early September.  😦

Last year I visited the North Head Lighthouse near Ilwaco, Washington. The location is frequently subjected to winds in excess of 100 miles per hour and days upon days of fog. I was lucky enough to visit it on a delightfully sunny day. You can read about this lighthouse by clicking this Wikipedia link…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Head_Light

Heading towards Bell’s View Overlook I can see the top of the lighthouse through the trees…

 

 

 

I came across some old concrete structures that were part of Fort Canby during World War II…

Walking towards the lighthouse I looked south where I can see the jetty and Oregon on the far shore overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River…

 

 

 

Finally I approach the lighthouse…

 

 

 

The lighthouse is 116 years old and starting to show its age…

 

 

 

I love photographing patterns and forms. The view is inside the lighthouse looking straight up towards the top…

 

 

 

Here’s the view leaving the lighthouse on a different path. The effect of the strong northerly winds show plainly on the trees…

I’ve been here in the Ilwaco area several times before and always enjoy this beautiful area.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

Yesterday was a cloudy/sunny day at 63 degrees. Forecast for today is cloudy/sunny and 66 degrees.

Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
