A Slice of Heaven from Humbug Mountain State Park Beach (+8 insets!)
(+8 insets!) (Please view large! It's a wonderful zen view! :D) (Please scroll down to Today's Pictures for image details!)
Fewer Locations with Longer Stays = Happy Campers!
Part one of our wonderful Covid Trip lasted 26 days and yet we only stayed in four locations: Humbug Mountain State Park (7 nights), Bullard's Beach State Park (7 nights), William Tugman State Park (two 4-night stays), and Hecata (pronounced Huh-see-tuh) Beach RV Park (4 nights). We learned our lesson last season that short stays = cranky campers! Truthfully, this trip DID have 3 shorter stays of four days each but they were close to each other and that made them reasonable enough. The juggling of short stays allowed us to meet up with Steve's sister and two sons for our first RV trip with them and it was wonderful!
Humbug Mountain State Park
Nestled at its base, this park is a lovely gem with several picturesque trails and a gorgeous beach just five minutes from the lower campground. The mountain was originally named Me-tus by the indigenous Tututni people, though first known by Sugarloaf Mountain by American settlers. It was renamed Tichenor's Humbug--eventually shortened to Humbug Mountain--by the founder of nearby Port Orford, Captain William V. Tichenor. The name served as a permanent reminder of the exploring blunder when the party sent by Techinor got lost and headed north of the port instead of south. (The mountain has also been called Mount Franklin.)
Our stay was a relaxing one in which we settled into the happy reality of our new fabulous trailer and discovered what it was like to stay put for more than a few days. What a joy! The only bummer was the fact that Steve had badly hurt his knee and sprained his ankle just before we left for our trip. This forced him to stay in the trailer and off his feet as much as possible, something that he really didn't want to do, of course. We both felt very depressed and worried about his leg and the future, and all of this weighed on our mood. However, once he got serious about resting his leg, it began to heal and we felt better in turn as the days passed.
I got out for walks every day and had many photo adventures. The trails, the beach, the trek around the lower and upper campground loops--even though melancholy often colored my creative energy, the time we got to spend at this park was enough that I was able to photograph my experience there really well! Ultimately, we hope to come back and stay for another week so that Steve and I can hike all of the trails together, go beach-combing, and allow him to experience the park's grandeur too!
A Lovely Morning on Humbug Mountain State Park Beach
I went out to the beach many times and got to wander around, soaking up the beauty of the place. The wind was pretty fierce and maybe that's why there weren't many people on the beach most of the time, though families could be seen here and there each day. The scenery was magnificent and I enjoyed taking pictures of the craggy coast as well as macros of the things I found washed up on the shore.
Today's Pictures
You have to count your lucky stars when you see such a perfect scene for a picture. Arriving at the beach one day, I immediately noticed the pair in my main picture, seated on a log and enjoying the incredible view. I got lots of shots from many angles but I liked this one the best, creating a panorama from the image to give a sense of what they were experiencing. A slice of heaven. :)
Insets include…
A pile of prayer stones with a soft-focus boulder off in the distance…
A magnificent craggy coast line where rocks of all sizes met the crashing waves next to the beach…
Layers of sand with a granite rock jutting up for a focal point…
A seagull flying overhead, just one of the many that often wheeled about overhead or gathered on the shore…
A colorful crab carapace on the sand, glistening from the water that washed over it…
A close-up of the shell to see the gorgeous texture…
Kelp that lay in a Rastafarian jumble with a shallow dof so the end faded to artistic softness…
And finally, a natural still life with a feather stuck to a bit of seaweed. That feather was very stubborn and though the wind tore at it, the feather merely waved around and would not be swept away! :)
Here's hoping all of you are safe and healthy and having a wonderful day! :) Thanks so much for your visits, comments, stars, and for your never-ending encouragement and interest in my photography and our adventures! :) You're the best. <3

ITS A STUNNING COAST... SIGHHHH
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I enjoyed all the PiPs as well..........my faves are the jagged rocks in the 2nd PiP and the Crab's carapace in the 4th and 5th PiPs.
I'm pleased that you had such a lovely time............and that you're managing to keep clear of the virus! I hope Steve's recovery is going well and that he's not overdoing things - you need to keep an eye on him!
We have our younger daughter and the grandchildren coming to stay for a few days next week. We're really looking forward to it as we haven't seen them since Xmas.
Take care and stay safe!
Happy sunday:)
Passez une bonne semaine !
Have a nice and peaceful new week!!!!!!!!!!!!
