Cape Blanco State Park has a great campground. There are 50 sites, all with electricity and water at the site. Unfortunately, there is a problem with the drain field and the fix is expensive so the dump station is closed and has been for several years.
The campsites are large and most of them are surrounded by thick bushes so are quite private. I make the walk around the comapfround several times each day as I am walking Mollie so I keep tabs on which sites have changed occupants and what new or unusual rig has pulled in. I sure would love to have a tour of some of them . Walking with Mollie this morning we saw eveything from campers who sleep in their van, to small tents, to van campers, to pickup campers, to travel and fifth wheel trailers, to large motorhomes. Lots of variety and lots of folks having fun.
Yesterday was day one of our three day week. I was up in the lantern room and R and our grand daughter E was in the work room down stairs. E helped gramma to explain the duties of the keepers in the workroom; what tools they used and how the room was arranged. She did very well I am told. Today is our full day and we start in the lighthouse again. R will be "up" and I will be in the workroom. I am not sure if E will work up or down. Then, in the afternoon, we will be greeting visitors outside the visitor center and telling them the story of life on the cape. We talk about the weather, the housing arrangement, and the chores that the families had in addtion to keeping the light active. They had a very busy life in this remote location.
