Cape Blanco

Sorry we have not posted in a while but
we have no cell service at Cape Blanco State Park.
I have posted some pictures of our site here and the park itself, but they are in random order so my script may not match up with the nearest picture.
Our trip here from Sotherlin was a smooth one.We got settled in nicely for our month stay here.
We are the "camphosts"for the campground.In the site next to us is the "cabin hosts Gary and Elsie.Our days off are Monday and Tuesday's and the other hosts play camphosts for us.Gary and Elsie are off on Wednesday and Thursday's and we

play cabin hosts for them.

This is by far the most scenic park we have ever visited.The campground shrouded in forest and being able to look out to the ocean from about 100 ft. above. Assume! Some of the most sptacular views we have ever witnessed.

Cape Blanco lighthouse is also here. It has 2 lighthouse hosts that run the gift shop and help with the lighthouse tours.

In spite of the persistent rain and wind early in the month,we have taken advantage of the many vista points of the ocean along the coastal trail which runs through the park.As you can tell in one of the pictures,Jeni is a "happy camper "when she is by the ocean!

We have a "Gator" cart for running around in to do our chores.(DJ would like this cart as it has an enclosed cab so he could stay warm).Cape Blanco also has "horse camp"sites with corrals to keep the horses in and a riding trail just for horseback riding.Pretty cool!

Oregon State Parks have a great host program.Far superior to any other park we have volunteered at. They issue you a cap,vest,and name badge. They also issue you a park binder with all the info you need for the park and the surrounding area. By day two you are orientated and ready for work. The parks also train you on what they call "safety modules" for all of their equipment so that you are proficient to operate them within days of your training.

The best thing Jeni and I have gotten so far though, is a one foot by three foot sign with our name one it with big bold letters!We love it! We take our sign with us anywhere in Oregon that we are hosting and we display it so we are recognized as the "camphost" of that park.

Our site at the park is right next to the pay station and has a nice big patio.across the street from our site you can see through the trees to the ocean.It just doesn't get any better than this!

As I said earlier, Jeni is one "Happy Camper"!

Once we get our first days off we will be exploring the surrounding areas. There is a lot to see in the area and we can't wait to get touring.

Well I'm writing this blog up by the lighthouse overlooking the ocean. What a veiw! It is getting dark so I have to get back to camp.This we found is the only place where we get a signal for our phone and internet. But what a great place to be,the ocean at dusk,the lighthouse lit up and beaming it's beacon to wayward ships,and the cool ocean breezes,WHAT A PLACE!
