Into Oregon

Day 89

Another short day.  Over a long bridge across the Columbia River to Astoria and then down the Oregon coast.

Before heading down the coast we visited Fort Clatsop (again).  This is the site where Lewis and Clark and their party wintered over after reaching the Pacific.

We stopped in Tillamook and were going to visit the cheese factory.  Before going in we called a nearby state park to inquire about space.  They only had two spots left and they were first come first served.  Cheese tour was put on hold as we hurried to state park to get a spot.  We will go back tomorrow.
