In and Around Port Orford

I haven't done a TON of exploring yet but I thought I'd share these pictures I took at Camp Blanco State Park, New River Nature Center, Humbug Mountain State Park, Paradise Point Recreation Site, Tseriadun State Recreation Site, Port Orford Lifeboat Station, and a few others.

There's a great 4-5 mile loop that you can do from the Camp Blanco RV park: Walk south to Iseriadun State Park and Agate Beach (where you can find agate, naturally...) then head north on the beach to Paradise Point Recreation Site, then it's a short jaunt back to the RV park.

Here's Teddy chasing the mole crabs - scientific name: enerita - at the Seven Devils State Recreation Site - and there's millions of the little buggers. (and they're slightly creepy.) lol

Camp Blanco State Park:

A golden sea stack rising from a calm beach with misty coastal mountains reflected in the wet sand

A driftwood-strewn beach leading toward a rocky headland with a lighthouse in the distance

Teddy walking along a beach beneath dramatic storm clouds, with a rocky headland to the left

A paved beach access path leading down to the ocean, framed by dune grass and dark volcanic rocks

An ailing seal resting on the beach near a piece of driftwood, with dune grass and forest in the background

Sadly, this seal is dying. Probably from Leptospirosis which is a bacterial disease and highly contagious. I contacted the park host and they contacted the park rangers. Luckily Teddy had a shot for that in Colorado last year.
