Fort Stevens State Park

This blog is still from Saturday, March 26! We did an amazing amount of stuff that day!

Lon found a jeep to play on! Loved that jeep. It had no engine, or even a gas pedal. It did have a steering wheel that spun, and that was worth it all!

Okay, I am out of the jeep, can I run now? PLEASE

Thanks, Mom. You can catch up!

In front of one of the defunct guns. All the working parts are long long gone.

Inside the West Command Center.  Whatever was in there, is also long gone.  It is interesting though

Inside one of the power plants. He was not always running, we did catch him once in a while

On the ground of Fort Stevens, they have an native long house. I was unsure of why the tape was all over it.

Then we went around the back. We understood

On the banks of the mighty mighty Columbia! What do you mean we can not go down to the water? I can see there is no path and lots of huge rocks, but we can figure it out. I am still not liking we can not go to the water!

But Lon was happy when we went back to the jeep. He loved playing on that jeep!

Fixing the jeep. It always needs fixing

We found a way to get to the banks of the Columbia! Lon was very happy. He had a hunk of wood, sand and water.  Nothing makes him happier

Loading up a pop bottle with black sand

At a look over where the Columbia meets the Pacific! There was no access to the water here. And even if there was, Mommy was not having it.

The Peter Iredale! Of course we had to see it. It is still there, 104 years since it wrecked

Just up the beach from the Iredale was this driftwood castle.  Lon and Daddy added some more pieces to it. It was alot of fun

There was also a cave! It did not go back very far. Just enough for Lon to sit in. I would not have let him go in any farther anyway.
After this, I have no more pictures for Saturday. We met up with Bill, (yea!) went to dinner at The Great Wall,  had some great conversation, and went to bed!  A busy busy day.
