BATTERY POINT LIGHTHOUSE

IN CRESCENT CITY, CA THE BATTERY POINT LIGHTHOUSE IS A MAIN ATTRACTION. WE VISITED TODAY, AND ALTHOUGH WE ENJOYED THE TOUR, WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A LIGHT HOUSE? IT’S NOT A JOB I’LL BE APPLYING FOR ANYTIME SOON.

WHAT WE FOUND MOST INTERESTING WAS THE “TIDE”. BEING FROM WISCONSIN IT’S SOMETHING WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. THE OTHER MORNING I WENT OVER TO THE HARBOR AND WATCHED PEOPLE DIGGING FOR CLAMS, AND CLEANING THEM. INTERESTING. SO LATER IN THE DAY I HAD TAKEN MARY OVER TO CHECK IT OUT, AND WHERE PEOPLE HAD BEEN DIGGING CLAMS IN THE MORNING WAS NOW OCEAN?

YOU CAN ONLY GET TO THE BATTERY POINT LIGHT HOUSE DURING LOW TIDE, SO THIS SEEMED LIKE THE PERFECT SPOT TO TRY AND ILLUSTRATE WITH PICTURES THE LOW AND HIGH TIDE.

LOW TIDE
HIGH TIDE

ALONG THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS OUR HIKE OF THE DAY .7 MILES OUT ON THE JETTY WHICH FORMS THE CRESCENT CITY HARBOR.

THE JETTY WASN’T REALLY DOING ITS JOB OF STOPPING THE OCEAN WAVES, SO THEY INSTALLED THESE CONCRETE (THINGS?) TO BREAK UP THE WAVES FURTHER.

AFTER THREE DAYS WE FINALLY FOUND THE ONLY BAR IN TOWN. I FOUND IT KINDA INTERESTING, WHEN DOWN AT THE FAR END OF THE BAR THREE OLD GUYS LIT UP CIGARETTES. IN CALIFORNIA? I FIT RIGHT IN !!! RULE BREAKERS……. I LOVED IT !!!
