The Oregon Trail - Lewis, Clark and a Volcano




cently had a chance to follow the path that Lewis and Clark took when they explored Oregon and Southern Washington. After taking a leisurely drive along the coast, I cut back at Astoria and drove to beautiful Portland in the shadow of Mt Hood. Here is a pictorial journal of the trip.






There was a beautiful "old growth" rainforest en route to the coast.
















I was amazed that it was possible to literally drive into the ocean ... if you wanted to. By the way, this sweet 2-door is the best rental I've ever driven. A smooth drive, and this was THE perfect day to roll down the sun-roof and catch some rays.

If you think herding cats is hard ... try herding sea lions
