Dave & Mary Ann's 30th Wedding Anniversary

For our anniversary we stayed at a B&B on the southern coast of Oregon at Port Orford. We had a great time exploring this quaint town and surrounding area.We took a tour of the Port Orford Lighthouse which is in full operation today.

Here we are inside the top of the lighthouse where it was very bright and warm.

Dave is standing by a restored Coast Guard boat that was used to save stranded people in the ocean. It is part of the Coast Guard Museum in Port Orford.

This is an old Coast Guard Station that is now a museum. As you can see, the men had very little privacy.

Port Orford has a dry dock where the boats are lifted in and out of the water by a large crane each day.

The beautiful beaches were very rocky and rugged.

At Sunset Bay we found a lovely garden that reminded us of Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C.
