CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT, WA JUNE 29


 Astoria Bridge over the Columbia
 Astoria, Oregon
Large Old Estate homes built on the mountain


 Going over to Washington



 Cape Disappointment
 Seems to be always foggy in the morning



 
 North Head Light
Light Keeper's Residence
You can rent these -too old for me!
Kind of spooky!

 
 view down from the lighthouse
 View south, looking at the mouth of the Columbia



 Cape Disappointment is where Lewis and Clark
 first saw the Pacific Ocean

 Cape Disappointment Light
 Pacific on this side-Columbia River far left side
can barely see the rock barrier



 Look-the Coast Guard boat is stuck in the 
middle of the channel on low tide


 Fort Columbia
One of the Batteries, big guns protecting the mouth
of the Columbia--from 1863 to WWII 

 Officers Quarters
 Enlisted Soldiers Quarters

 Going back to Oregon

 Astoria's Harbor
 Stay there...
 Native American canoe
 Astoria Tower
Shrouded in fog, and shrouded for construction;
highest point in Astoria
The fog rolls in and out all day around here
Turn of the century homes built on the hillside
