Scenic Highway 101

I spent my three-day weekend this week visiting my grandparents in Florence, Oregon. It's a 265-mile drive each way that takes almost 6 hours to complete (average 46 mph, thanks to the slow twists and turns of Highway 101). On the way home, I hit weather ranging from completely sunny skies to heavy drizzle and fog so thick I couldn't see much of anything but the glare from my own headlights. However, I found a few opportunities to utilize the vista points on the side of the highway to take some photos. Since I still don't have the wide-angle lens for my new camera yet, some of the photos were taken with my old camera. You can click on the photos for larger versions.

Look closely to see if you can find the Umpqua Lighthouse:

The next four were taken just south of Port Orford, OR (the third one down is my favorite, and likely the next photo of the week):

A greeter at the Oregon Visitor's Information Center just north of the border:

On the way home, I had to stop at the Crescent City Wal-Mart to check it out. At only 90-minutes away, it is the nearest Wal-Mart to Eureka:

Finally, a couple of sunset photos from south of Crescent City:
