Our first volunteering position

Sunday, we start our first ever volunteer position as Lighthouse Host for the month of May at the Coquille River Lighthouse near Bandon, Oregon. If you are in the area stop by and say "Hello".

Grant & Kathy, congratulations! We visited that lighthouse last Summer. Had we known about your future plans there we'd have left a big "hello" hanging out there for you. I hope you enjoy your time there. We spent a month along the Oregon coast last Summer and enjoyed every minute of it. What a gorgeous area!

Hope it is lots of fun for you, and that we'll see you later as you move up the coast.

Yesterday was the BIG DAY! Our first shift with the lighthouse open to the public!

We arrived a half hour early because we were excited to get started. That worked out good because the Ranger was there to help the morning shift balance out the register.

It was a gray misty day here on the Oregon Coast and during our first hour we didn't have any visitors. It was a little strange having the lighthouse totally to ourselves. Things picked up during the second hour when we had two visitors. They were wearing flip flops so they couldn't go up the tower and get the view or the tour narration by yours truly.

The pace really picked up the last hour when we had 4 visitors! Both couples wanted to go up the tower to the light room and I got to do my narration.

We closed the lighthouse at 5 PM, balance out the register and made sure everything was locked up correctly. Our total sales were 2 bottles of Blueberry Jam.

Yes, it is a grueling pace and we both slept in until 7 AM. We are back to the grind this afternoon.

You would think that they would ease you into such hectic, demanding job

I thought you retired to get out of the rat race? Enjoy your stay in Bandon and I hope the weather improves for you.

P.S. Did Raider also get a vest, hat and name tag? You ought to add your blog picture to this thread.

No, dogs allowed at the lighthouse not even greeter dogs.

Just because you asked Butch here is the picture.
