Continued from.. Paul & Sue's Excellent adventure Part II

We start part three with around 30 others at West Point Light in Seattle, WA.. First up is the view from the Point then the light..

More images from Derith's tour of Washington Lighthouses before the Alaskan Cruise..

Brown's Point Light may not be the prettiest but it is very functional.. The Society here has done a wonderful job of restoring the keeper's house, which is still under way as you can see..

I will add some dash cam pics shortly..

Now some dash cam shots of 06/04/2011..

Sue and I shared a Rhubarb Slump for dessert, while the others arrived for their lunch.. It was very yummy!!

I thought I would put 3 images of 3 lighthouses we visited today until I get back from dinner..

Today started sunny at Gray's but clouds quickly rolled in for the rest of the day..

I like the angle of your Cape Disappointment shot!

That's from the farthest campground parking lot from the campground turnoff; before you get to the Lewis & Clark Museum..

This is from our hotel room's window at Astoria, OR of the bridge over the Columbia River..

Which variation was the Grays Harbor?

It looked like they got it correct..

Our group started the day with a visit to Cape Disappointment, the Coast Guard there guided our tour to the top and the light.. It was a overcast morning yesterday but that sure didn't put a damper on the up close tour, thanks Derith!

I drove down the point that the light is on and up to the Interpretive Center on the adjoining point and got some more images of the group touring the light and our Coast Guard guides..

After our tour of Cape Disappointment, most of the group headed to Point No Point Lighthouse for the next stop..

The Brady's, the Toth's and the McBee's found a great stop for lunch about half way there.. The name of the place is the Pine Tree Tavern.. Roy, Gary and I all had their special Pine Tree Burger; what a sandwich!!

Then it was back to Point No Point for Sue and I since we had stayed in the keeper's house for two nights last week..

Last last image of June 6, 2011, I took this of the waterfall at our Hotel in Sequim, WA, you never know where you will find a nice image to capture...

Hey there Paul, sure looks like you are having a great time...wish I was there... Oh that's right I am there!! Wish all our friends were here too.

Oh sure, we got them to fix the lock at Cape Disappointment, and you got to climb.

Easy on the CMs Ruthie, you'll miss a good trip (tic). We miss being there! I saw you logged in on Paul's pc this morning.

She has her own Mac, Bob!! We did have a moment at breakfast, though..

Not only the lock Bob but they have a new cement road (path) up the mountain to get to the light and since Sue had her surgery and we have a temp handicapped parking thingy, I got to drive her to the light following Derith and the Coastie driving others up..

Quoted for truth. I still curse that stupid lock at Cape D.

Just like I curse another broken lock at Sanibel Island light.

Enjoying your photos here and on FB, Paul. Thanks for sharing.

Those phood photos and phlower photos make us pheel like we are really along phor the whole phantasic trip.

If only!

Our visit to Admiralty Head Lighthouse today...

Sue really enjoyed shopping in the gift shop at the lighthouse..

This is one beautiful Light....Paul, you more than did it justice!

While not as pretty, Marrowstone Light is still functional as a light.. We stopped there yesterday morning in overcast and rain before taking the ferry over to Admiralty Head Lighthouse where the skies cleared and the sun shown brightly..

Love your pictures of Admiralty Head. You even made Marrowstone look artistic!

San Juan Island Lighthouse tour today..

One more San Juan Light today..

Admiralty Head Lighthouse at Sunset June 8, 2011..

Some images using as Bob calls it Dash_Cam of the group on the tour today of the San Juan Island Lights..

More of the group today..

Great pics !!!

Great to see everyone having a good time !!!


Paul, That piece of driftwood should fit on your roof rack?

It was bigger than the car!!

Too bad you didn't have Dave's land yacht !!!

We stopped at Mukilteo Lighthouse on the way to Seattle and our hotel, where we are getting ready to board the cruise ship tomorrow..

Mukilteo Lighthouse is in awesome condition..

A few more images of Mukilteo Lighthouse before we head for our Alaska Cruise....

Bon Voyage everyone!

Everyone have safe and fun trip!
Rick

The waiting is the hardest now, we can't board until 11:30AM PDT.. Nothing to do until then..

Next Paul & Sue's Excellent Adventure Part IV

This from our #1 photographer? Come on -- shoot all those pictures of people waiting to board.

At 42 cents a minute to get online you guys will be waiting a week for images.. We are just doing email this week..

I figured lack of access and/or cost was the reason we haven't heard much since the cruise ship was boarded. We'll patiently look forward to day-by-day reports when you get within signal range from alternative shore-based access.

Most of Alaska is in cell phone plans.

Free Wi-Fi might be availaba on shore?

I got a return email from Pixie today from her IPOD!
