Bridge Walk

Yesterday I did the Great Columbia Crossing in Astoria, Oregon. My sis Rachel joined me and we walked over the Astoria/Megler bridge along with thousands of others. It was 27th annual 10K walk and run but a first for us. It started at Dismal Nitch on the Washington side of the river and then went over the huge bridge and down into the port of Astoria. At the end, shuttle buses took us to Astoria high school for clam chowder and fixings and then another shuttle bus took us back to the parking lot. It was a perfect day for it, slightly cloudy and slightly cool but a gorgeous view of the river.

On Saturday, we met at Oregon's newest state park, Stubb Stewart, and did some of the many hikes there and checked out the cute cabins and campground. Later we had dinner at a Bosnian restaurant in Astoria. All weekend I was impressed by the beauty of Oregon in the fall.
