Made it up to Astoria, OR. Visited Ft. Clatsop which is where Lewis and Clark settled. That was really interesting. Afterwards, Dennis and Ron went and toured through the Maritime Museum while Cathy and I visited the Flaval House and Heritage Museum. Since we had been up here in June, wasn't ready to revisit the Maritime museum. We enjoyed them all. After finishing our tours, Cathy and I found a winery located in Astoria. Interesting little winery. This winery is pretty much a one person operation. We met up with the boys and headed down to check out the Eagle Viewing spot, however, they were not out and about so that turned out to be a bust.
The next day we headed over to Ft. Stevens. This post was established during the Civil War and has a huge armnament as they were protecting the coastal area around the Columbia River and Astoria. Cathy and I did some walking around some of the paths and realized after walking through one path that we were trouncing around a Bear/Cougar area. So now we know what those droppings were. The scary thing is the signs were nowhere around the area we entered but rather when we got to the end trail. Not sure what was up with that? But now we know what those droppings were that we were trying to figure out.
It has also been amazing to see the different colors of fall that we have seen up here in Pacific Northwest.
Having a good time and have lots to tell everyone when we get back.
