Columbia River and Cape Disappointment

This is the Cape Disappointment light house

( http://www.funbeach.com/attractions/lighthouse.html - a bit of history on the light house)

Here you can see the many log posts that kept the canneries afloat and the lush rainforest. A few winters ago a rock was lifted and pulled out by the river. Now has a tree growing on it and when the tide is high its a little island.

This is a makeshift bridge in the rainforest that we use to get to the river from the house.

This is the last stretch of the Columbia River before Astoria and the Ocean
