Oregon / Washington Coast

[surfered]

Leaving the Gorge on the way to the Coast you’ll pass Multnomah Falls. At 620 feet, it’s Oregon’s tallest.

Approaching Astoria, these ubiquitous road signs remind you that you’re on the Lewis & Clark Trail. Capt William Clark points the way wearing a tri-cornered hat while Meriwether Lewis sports the coon skin cap.

On the Oregon side of the Columbia you can visit their salt works at Seaside or a recreation of Ft. Clatsop near Astoria.



Crossing the Astoria Megler Bridge to Washington,



you can visit their encampments at Dismal Nitch and Cape Disappointment.


Cape Disappointment Light House

Captain William Clark first saw the Pacific at Long Beach, WA.



64 and foggy here. Heading south today.

2. Amazing tide pools at Cape Disappointment

And a wonderful Sunday Market in Astoria.
Explored the area a few years ago, and I spent much longer in Astoria and Cape Dlsappointment than I'd planned just because I loved it there.

5. Almost 20 years ago I camped at Cape Disappointment for a week.

Caught a lot of salmon and got a great history lesson.

3. Oregon coast is pretty awesome

Get yourself the pamphlet of
Oregon agates. You will be surprised at what you can find on the beaches.

4. Enjoyed your pics!

Even though I live on the coast, I haven't explored far north Oregon coast yet. The place-naming does not make it sound very inviting.
