One of our Guests has offered to share their vacation photos with us! These are remarkable photos taken by the Cooper family of Mesa Arizona (by coincidence this is our winter home too!) and we thought it would be fun to post the photos with their permission.

"Forget Disneyland ... bring the family to Gold Beach! We spent our days horseback riding, crabbing off the pier, beach combing and rock hunting ... and enjoyed all the wildlife - from the residents of Kitty Cat Jetty to the sea lions at the port and deer below our balcony. The jet boat trip brought eagles and bear into the picture as well and day trips up and down the coast revealed lighthouses, spectacular scenic vistas and, of course, fresh fudge and salt water taffy. Our evenings were spent with spectacular sunsets and fresh sea food. The people of Gold Beach were friendly and accommodating in every way. We'll definitely be back!" - The Coopers, Mesa, Ariz.

The scene was strange, everything looked like copper!

Thank you so much to Janet Cooper of Mesa for letting us share these great photos! We loved having you, and we hope you will vacation on our lovely coast again soon!
