Westport

Westport is a small town on the Coast of Washington. Our friends Paul and Denise Roberts are workamping at  lovely park called "American Sunset", and Teresa and I thought it was time for a girlie road trip-so off we went! In this picture we're at Grey's Harbor, soaking up the lovely coastal fog......That's Paul on the far left, Teresa in the center and Denise on the right.

Here's the real star of the Robert's family-Duke! He's adorable and we considered a dognapping......

This is the Wesport Maritime  Museum. It  originally housed the U.S. Coast Guard. Westport had two razor clam canneries, and a thriving timber industry, and commercial fishing. 

Now, it's a sleepy little town that relies on tourism and non-commercial fishing. 

This lens was lent to the museum by the Coast Guard...they actually built the facility to house it!

It looks so cool and comfy compared to Coarsegold climate. I'm fascinated by lighthouse lens design, I think they're beautiful. Keep on having a fun trip with your friends.
