Cape Meares Lighthouse

This is our first time to visit a lighthouse!  So beautiful.  It has a strength all on its own somehow.  :)

This lighthouse is not active any more, and unfortuantely, a few years ago, a couple of jerks broke the glass in the light room, causing over $100,000 worth of damage!  Thankfully, they were found and have to pay for the damage themselves.  :)

Inside, there is a small gift shop and a short video sharing the history of the lighthouse, and the story behind the vandalism.  The views were so incredible and peaceful.

 On the way to the lighthouse, there is a decent walk down hill......

But then, to get back to the parking lot, you have to take it UP HILL!  Talk about a calf work-out!  I could feel it burning the whole time!
For those of you wondering if an RV lifestyle is too sedentary?  NO!  We walk, hike and climb more now, than we ever did living in a sticks-n-bricks house!  HA!
