Tuesday, May 3, 2016 Trip to Thor's Well and more......
We left out this morning at 7 am in pursuit of Thor's Well. Well we asked for directions to Thor's Well and was sent to Devil's Churn. This wasn't what we knew Thor's Well looked like so off we went to revisit Devil's Punch Bowl at high tide. On the way back we stopped at Agate Beach to see if we could find a piece of Agate but no luck the rocks turned out to be just that rocks. We continued down hwy 101 and stopped at the Heceta Head Lighthouse for a quick visit. We had to walk up to it. We were pretty much finished with our day when we made one more stop and guess what we found--Thor's Well and Spouting Horn. In my opinion we got the best sight of the day, last. Waiting for The Spouting Horn was exciting. It actually sounds off just before it spouts water through the hole in the top of its roof. They call this an ocean geyser. Here I thought that we had seen every kind of geyser that there is -guess not. We hit the jackpot today. We saw everything that we wanted to see and few more places. This is the last time that we will be here on the coast of Oregon this trip. We both love this coastline.
