What a cool day - May 11, 2013

From the tall ships in Coos Bay to the monstrous Oregon sand dunes in Florence to the DarlingtonIan Californica carnivorous pitcher plant bog to the world's largest natural sea lion cave to the most photographed Heceta Head lighthouse; wonders never cease to amaze and teach us. An amazing day.

FACTOIDS: Lighthouse has the strongest beacon that can be seen 21 miles from sea. The Guilmette pigeon lives out on ocean and only comes to sea lion cave to nest. Unless you're a sailor,  this is only place to see them.  Sea lion bulls can weigh up to 2400 lbs. - females are half the size!  Fred Meyers grocery stores are more than just groceries.  People really believe in Sasquatch here.
