Northern Oregon Coast
---------------------------------------------------
Well, I’ve made it to the coast! I drove out west from Portland to go on a hike with a guy I know from the internet. He took me along a river he fishes regularly. We did quite a bit of wading through the river and got back to a waterfall that is only accessible by doing the wading. Then I continued west to the coast and stopped first at Cannon Beach. I did very little research and was heading down towards Oswald West State Park, but I saw the huge haystack rock from highway 101 so I stopped in Cannon Beach.
ASTORIA
I also went up to Astoria. These are near/from the Column in Astoria:
A Chinook canoe.
While in Astoria, I went to the place where Lewis and Clark’s Corp of Discovery spent a winter. They built a fort here but the one in the picture is a recreation. There is a small museum there with info, movies, and some period or recreation objects similar to what the expedition team had with them. I suspect not a single thing is from their actual trip because they didn’t make any effort to save any of the gear and actually sold or gave much of it away.
A picture of one of their journals
They carried powder to make ink with
MANZANITA
CAMPING WITH FRIENDS
My friends (an old college buddy and his wife) came out for the weekend.
We went to the beach near the campsite in the morning, and my buddy didn’t change from the warm clothes he’d slept in. :-D
