Road Trip–Yaquina Head Lighthouse Spiral Staircase

 Photograph of the spiral staircase in the Yaquina Head Lighthouse along the southern Oregon coast at the Yaquina River near Newport, OregonThere are 168 stairs up to the top of the lighthouse. The original Keepers climbed several times a day with heavy buckets of oil to keep the light burning. It is hard enough to climb unencumbered; I can’t imagine what it would be like with a heavy weight.
