Cannon
Beach of “The Goonies” fame was not as I remembered in the film
but then Terry had already told me that we had missed other places
where it was filmed – next time!
However
it was a beautiful walk along Cannon Beach watching the birds on
Haystack Rock - Tufted Puffins, Common Murres, Pelagic Cormorants,
Brants Cormorants in their hundreds.

On
to Fort Clatsop, where in 1805 - 06, Lewis and Clark and the 33
members of the Corps of Discovery spent 4 months preparing for their
return journey to St. Louis, Missouri. They had completed an
expedition that was President Thomas Jefferson’s idea, he sent an
exploratory party by rivers to the Pacific through virtually unknown
territory, they travelled over 4,000 miles on way!
We
spent the night at Fort Stevens State Park, from the Civil War to
the end of the Second World War this fort had guarded the mouth of
the Columbia River. We had a walk to see the wreck and next day we drove to see some wildlife before heading to Astoria.
