I have previously mentioned that my wife and I will be driving up the California coast next Nov. I have a tentative itinerary but am interested in staying in lighthouses in northen CA and Oregon. Also looking for places to stay in Redwood country. I can also be contacted directly at [email protected] Thanks in advance

Hello dp, here is one place you might possibly be interested in http://www.ebls.org/

Can't think of any lighthouses that have overnight lodging in No. CA, except the one noted by LoveItaly. But many nice places to stay in towns such as Bodega Bay, Pt Arena, Elk, Mendocino, Ft Bragg, Garberville, Ferndale, Trinidad. Very scenic along the Northern CA coast.

Yachats OR

Point Arena Lighthouse

California

Pigeon Point Lighthouse
near Santa Cruz, south of San franciso
Is a hotel howvever they have 4 private rooms set aside. You must bring own linen or rent onsite.

Forgot to mention lovely website that lists all the Lighhouses US:

lighthousefriends.com

Also if you end up in Astoria OR, the Astroria MAritime Museum has teh Lightship Columbia...really amazing.

Having trouble today with my fingers:
previous post should have read:

pointarenalighthouse.com

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a HOSTEL not a hotel...

Thanx, I will give those websites a try. Two of many more questions to come, How much time would you spend in wine country? And if we skip Portland, OR will we be disappointed?

Portland is a very nice city to live in, but I don't consider it a "must do" tourist destination.

I enjoy Portland as a tourist destination, although I wouldn't consider it as a "must do" for someone from out of the country (I live on the West Coast/ CA).
