Spring break, part deux!

The second day of our vacation we explored some of the other state parks in the Astoria area.

We first headed up to North Head Lighthouse, which was a fun, short little hike. It's so beautiful looking out over the cliffs at the ocean.


We spent about 40 minutes looking for Ft. Canby state park, where Jared's family used to spend summers. We finally stopped at the Ft. Canby store, outside of Cape Disappointment State Park to ask directions. Apparently, Ft. Canby State Park has been renamed--Cape Disappointment State Park. Huh.

We then headed back over the Astoria Megler bridge to go to Ft. Clatsop. Ask me how much I hate this bridge.
I think it's a very cool bridge, but I'm starting to have serious issues with heights.

Ft. Clatsop was the winter camp of Lewis and Clark in 1805-1806. It's a very cool set-up, and has recently been totally rebuilt.

"We have lived as well as we have any right to expect." William Clark, 1806.


Katie liked it too. Despite all the driving, it was a very fun day.
