I have been going to the Long Beach area since the 60's as my family had a cabin in the area.? We had always seen the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse across the water but since it was an active Coast Guard station never got to visit that one.? It was always in my mind.? Recently they handed that part of the base over to the state and it is now part of the state park.? So, bad knees and all, we hiked out to it.? It is in need of some TLC, but I am glad I finally got to see it up close. The Q3 makes great sunstars. Aram On 10/15/2025 7:35 PM, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > Nice set.
