Yesterday we traveled north from Florence to Yachats to see what we could see.  The scenery is spectacular along the edge of the continent.  It is still very smoky here but you can see how beautiful the dunes are.

 Hecate Head Lighthouse is one of the most photographed in the country.

Yachats is a very small town.  We saw most of its sights within a half hour and had a great seafood lunch at the Luna Sea Fish House.  Love the name!

One of our favorite things was the sign below.  There seemed to be no reason for it at all.

Gary has been able to play golf twice and is hoping for a third round tomorrow before we head for home on Saturday.

I was wrong about the statue of a "seal" in front of the Three Rivers Casino.  It is one of a set of Stellar Sea Lions found around Florence, and we also saw one in Yachats (pronounced Ya Hots) yesterday.  Stellar Sea Lions are found all along this coast and there is a place called Stellar Sea Lion Caves where you can see many in their natural habitat.
