Mar<p>We came back a bit ago from quite an adventure, which included a late start, spectacular (even if smoke-enhanced) sunset, visiting another lighthouse for our collection (West Point) and hiking back in the dark, while tagging along with another hiker that had just been dive-bombed by a very large owl. We eventually made it home, tired but happy.</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pnw</span></a><br><a href="https://social.coop/tags/lighthouses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lighthouses</span></a></p>
