I thought it appropriate to end my journey across America on the Trans America Trail at a lighthouse since that was essentially where it had begun.

this is interesting. look closely at the photo and you can just make out a curtain hanging close to the lens. know what it's for? I didn't. the lens rotates 24x7x365. if for any reason it should stop, someone is dispatched to the lighthouse to pull the curtain around the lens to cover it...

we were a little disappointed that you couldn't go up to the top, but it's an active operational lighthouse and the lens is constantly turning, so they can't allow tourists up there around it.

at least, it's scenic we spring for the guided tour (a whole $2.00)

and just up the road to the Cape Blanco Lighthouse it's a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse

a couple of last things to see.... first up, the Lifeboat Museum

on the beach at Port Ordford as the waves come rolling in from the Pacific apparently, Battle Rock is kind of famous our destination

I didn't take as many photos as I should have, but someone went to a lot of trouble to mark several miles of road, every dip, crack, pothole, and sinkhole like this I thought that the one lane bridge was appropriate, considering that the road was pretty much one lane END OF THE TRAIL!

one more roaring fire.... checking out some local points of interest with a friendly neighbor clear liquid in a jar marked "22 XXX", wonder what that could be? what caused that tree to grow like that?

nice to see the new growth taking hold our last campsite, only 50 miles to go to the coast! again, on a creek

we passed a gaggle of wild turkeys the next morning there was a very faint smell of smoke in the air the next morning passing the intersection of Cow Creek Road and Cow Pie Lane, I had to wonder who names these roads? interesting gate to this property

just upstream from us was an old stream gauge it's been inactive for a while

then we came to FIsh Creek and set up camp for the night definitely one of the prettiest places we camped

a last few photos of the island and boaters back on the trail, we passed a small airfield that had been set up as a firefighter encampment

all the water comes from precipitation and snow runoff (44 feet of annual snowfall average), so there is no sediment in the lake, which accounts for the water clarity and amazingly still some small patches of snow hanging around stopped briefly at the falls

Crater Lake is not on the actual trail, but it passes by so close we weren't going to pass it up we did the loop drive, had lunch at a picnic area, shared trail mix with the birds

we came up on this guy backing up to the bridge when he saw us, he pulled forward and let us pass. about a mile down the road, we came to this that's the way we needed to go and the best bypass was a short hop back the way we came. when we got back to the bridge, this guy was filling...

after a little shower at the campground, we got anothe rainbow. that's two evenings in a row then a second one appeared pretty cool the trail was pretty good the next day, even if a lot of it did not appear to be well traveled

you could feel the Jeep sliding around in the deep sand this little guy was pretty comfortable around people got any snacks?
