Yaquina Head lighthouse

There's an odd detail to the posted rules at this park, which is managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Dogs are allowed everywhere except the area around the lighthouse as shown here. Dogs are allowed down on the beach as long as they're on-leash, and there are signs warning people and their dogs not to harrass the seal pups that nest there.

 

So apparently this lighthouse is in more danger of damage from dogs than seal pups are. Funny, it looks so sturdy.
