Well it is just about day light now, and Big Foot Jim & Sasquatch Doug should be back soon. I see Emma is fixing breakfast now. So maybe she has heard from them. Jim & Doug got back about an hour ago. I was disappointed that I missed not getting to meet Emma's sister.
Doug came over happy as a clam and ready to leave!! He said that they wanted to leave in about and hour. Since I hooked the trailer up the night before, I was ready to go.
We should be at the next camp sites in about 2 or 3 hours. At least that is what I thought. With their tow car hooked up and ready to go. I'm all set to follow them to our next adventure. And what an adventure it will be.
Just out side Warrington they turned into Lewis & Clark Nat'L park. ( Fort Clatsop ). Jim called to say that they hope to see everything this area has to offer. Looking forward to it. Things I would like to see @ Fort Clatsop is, Fort to the sea trail, the Metal river trail, Fort Clatsop Replica it looks and feels much the same. You got to see and check out historic canoe landing. Some of the demonstration, hide tanning, candle making and even flintlock gun shooting and much much more!!!!
Since we aren't able to check into Nehalem Bay S.P. until this after noon. So we were able to see a few more sites. We left Lewis & Clark National Park going south. Then off to Gearheart, Seaside was the next town with alot of shops, hotels,motels and quite a large town with lots to do. As we passed the high school, they drove real slow . Later I found out that the kids just wanted to see the other kids playing outside. They are very shy, but also very curious. As we were going though Seaside Big Foot Jim told me that he wanted to stop and see the ( End of the trail monument ) . He wanted the kids to see it. It has something to do with his great great great grandfather. Who apparently followed Lewis & Clark and help them
out along their trip, with out them knowing it. He supply them with Big game as they traveled over and along the Columbia River in Oregon all the way to the coast.
I wanted to know why he would help them. He said it was passed down over the years that the local Indians saved his life and he thought that by helping them that maybe someday, they could all live together. But it didn't work out that way. The out come was very up setting and a mystery. No one really knew what the real story was, its always seemed to be a mystery.
Cannon Beach is bumper to bumper with traffic now. Doug wanted to stop and have lunch at Hug Point State Recreation site. The day use is a great place to sit and look at the coastline. So we will catch Cannon Beach at a different time.
Back on the road now Nehalem Bay S.P. is just up the road. We are all check in and Jim said they all needed some rest now and he would see me later. I keep thinking about the surprise that Emma's sister has for us. I wish I knew!!!!
Shirtless Steve
