Fort Clatsop - Astoria, OR

After a slow start to the morning, we decided to drive to Astoria, OR and visit Fort Clatsop. John wanted to visit Lewis and Clarks final stop on the Pacific coast.
First you take a walk to the reconstructed fort.

Inside the fort replica. The original fort took them three weeks to build while most of the Corps were sick. For the four months they were there, it rained everyday except for 14 days.

A replica of one of their canoes.

Then you return to the Visitor's Center which is very nice. We sat through three short movies on Lewis and Clark. All three were very informative. The artifacts and stories were very interesting. We now feel that we have come full circle with Lewis and Clark.

On our way back home, we filled up the truck with diesel - $3.83 a gallon. Whoppee! We haven't paid this amount for diesel since March.
