Lighthouse on Tillamook Rock Oregon


Today's vintage post card is of another lighthouse.
This lighthouse is on Tillamook Rock in Oregon. The waters look so rough and there is a small boat is in the picture.



The post card was sent to George W White in Lawrence Kansas from Rhea Pringle and is stamped and postmarked August 9, 1910 from Portland Oregon.



She writes

August 8, 1910

Dear Friend : Received your most welcome letter just before I left Los Angeles. Expect to locate in the northwest. As ever your friend Rhea Pringle.

Is marked printed in United States by Edward H Mitchell Publisher San Francisco

I will be looking for more postcards of lighthouses in my collection for future postings.

Greetings From the Oregon Coast in Postcards

Here are some pretty vintage postcards picturing the scenic area of Oregon
First post card is
Greetings From The Lookout
Scenic High Point on Oregon's Coast



The second postcard is this beautiful post card is a sunset view, Cannon Beach from Chapman Point, near Seaside, Oregon ... at the end of the Old Oregon Trail


third post card is the Look Out on Cape Foulweather, Oregon Coast ... Cape Foulweather, rising abruptly 500 ft above the Pacific Ocean was discovered and named by Captain Jas Cok in 1778. Ships, birds, whales, sea lions and hundreds of miles of ocean beauty seen through telescopes at the Look Out atop the cape.


last is Hug Point, Cannon Beach, Oregon ... Hug Point is a roadway hewed from solid rock, affording beach drivers passage between Arch Cape and Haystack Rock. These smoth sandy beaches permit driving for a distance of nine mile. Pictured on this post card is a wonderful vintage car. I am guessing the car is probably from the 1940's but I am not a car expert.

These pretty post cards are in unused condition. Wish I could see this beautiful site in person but at least we can see it in picture.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.... Grace
