Trip last weekend to Roseburg

We just arrived in time to Roseburg and got see see Chase and Alison in a performance of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. They were great in their performance and received awards at the end of the performance.

Chase is in the back row, second from the left.

A very nice performance by all, and thanks to those who made it possible.

On the way back to Newport, we got some of these photos.

Camping trip at Winchester Bay

Night view.

This little motor is what turns the big light below on some special rollers 7/24.

Alison is up in the tower right near the light that is turning. The lamp that is on is only a 1000 watts, with a spare off to the right side of the one on.
Inside the lighthouse looking straight up. Everything has been completely refurbished.
You can see one light is always on and the other (right of the one that is on) is just a spare.

Outside view looking up.

Chase and Alison pose inside the refurbished lighthouse. Enlarge the photo and look at brass sign above Chase and Alison for some history of the lighthouse.

Outside view of the Umpqua Lighthouse, 65' tall. The lightouse signal broadcasts it's light out up to 19 miles out to sea. There is only a 1000 watt bulb, but because of how light is transfered through special optics is just why those out at sea can see and know which lightouse they are seeing for bearings.

Our tour guide takes us on a tour of the Umpqua Ligthouse located at Winchester Bay, Oregon

Michelle brings the family from Roseburg to visit for the day, except for Ryan. Evan was not ready for this photo.

Surfers

Dad and I went out for a ride along the ocean Saturday. We had never stopped at Cape Foulweather. Winter experiences wind gusts to 100 mph. 500 ft elevation from ocean way down below us. Beautiful sunny day and the water was turquoise and you could actually see the rocks and reflections in the bottom of the ocean near the shore. We then went to Otter Crest where there is a huge rock out in the ocean (is in the temple movie where it shows ocean scenes, filmed in Oregon) This is where we saw the most amazing surfers out in the water. Enjoy the scenes from the beautiful Oregon Coast. We need to picnic here. ENLARGE THESE AND LOOK AT THE REAL OREGON COAST BEAUTY.
