Spring Break - Three Capes Loop

Yesterday (Sunday March 21) between rain storms we visited the Cape Meares Lighthouse. You can once again drive into the park after the vandalism they experienced a while back. We didn't arrive until 2pm, so we missed the "whale watchers" group that sets up between 10:00am and 1:00pm everyday (March 20 - 27) with high-powered scopes and binoculars for the public to enjoy. But, despite being without advanced technology, we did see at least 20 whale spouts with the naked eye. It appeared to be 2 whales swimming North just of the shore in front of the lighthouse. No whale tales, no backs, no jumping out of the water, but definately some activity! Visit http://www.whalespoken.org/ to find more information about whale watching and where the designated "spotter" locations are up and down the coast. The Cape Meares lighthouse is open, as well, but only the first floor, as the upper viewing area has not been repaired. It's worth the trip out -- the best weather days look to be Tuesday and Wednesday (23-24th). See you at the beach!
