Cape Blanco Lighthouse

Here I am outside the Cape Blanco Lighthouse. It is still used! We took a tour and got to hear some history of the lighthouse from a couple of docents.
The climb wasn't too bad until we went into the top room. Those stairs were very steep and small!
Here's Lauren - we were watching whales spouting out in the ocean. We also saw a family of deer pretty close to the lighthouse.
This is the actual light! There are a couple of really strong lightbulbs inside this glass lens. The docent told us that a few years ago, some people damaged it by breaking parts of the lens. There were still some broken pieces, but it was still working!
Here's a view from the lighthouse to the north. The deer were just down in that field.
