On this day we returned to Astoria. After reading all of our tourist information, we realized that there was much to see in Astoria. The above photo is a view of the famous Astoria bridge that connects Washington to Oregon over the Columbia River. It is one of the longest bridges in the US. On our drive to Oregon we had to drive the motorhome over this bridge. The ascent seems to be straight up and a bit scary when you first see it in front of you.
One of the sights not to miss in Astoria is the column that was erected as a commemoration to Lewis and Clark.
Barb walked over 300 steps to get to the top.
After leaving the columns we drove to one of the piers just outs side of Astoria. We had been told that the sea lions that were migrating were resting there. What a great experience to see all of them. They were all over the piers. If I had to estimate, I would say there were over 50 sea lions just lying around, stretching, swimming and having a great time.
This guy just had a terrible itch.
