I'm in Anchorage, Alaska, about to transfer to the fishing lodge in Prince William Sound tomorrow. Time to get caught up with blogs from the past 10 days. I'll make this post about my time in Oregon. I covered a story in Lane County, Oregon (Eugene), for Boating Life last week. My brother lives in Eugene, so we visited him, and while covering the lakes, we also snuck out to the famed Oregon coast. It was my favorite part of my trip out west so far. We went to the largest sea dunes in the U.S. at Sea Dunes National Park (there were ATV's and dune buggies everywhere). Then we went to the famous Sea Lion Sea Caves a bit north of there. This sea cave is the largest in the world, and is home to the only mainland colony of Stellar sea lions. And from there, we had a great view of the world's most photographed lighthouse at Heceta Head. It's as stunningly beautiful as advertised, and worth the drive for any Oregon visitor.

Check out a few of the shots from that excursion....
