It is so beautiful there. It has also changed so much over the years. Fort Stevens State Park has been cleaned and expanded over the years, not only for camping, but the old forts or batteries. There are several I never saw until just a few years ago. I even remember the old ferry from before the toll bridge was built. Now you no longer have to pay a toll to use the bridge. Please, everyone, go to the Astoria, Warrenton area. Enjoy the beach, parks, Astor Column, and the big bridge, not to mention the museums. Heck, just go down to the water front for a meal and the view! Enjoy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004782006610733567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681519665016202842.post-37609466214330930872011-09-18T19:14:09.680-06:002011-09-18T19:14:09.680-06:00We were near Astoria for 2 months 3 years ago.

Bundle up and enjoy.John and Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796149970555679406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681519665016202842.post-31445782311616114292011-09-18T00:06:39.474-06:002011-09-18T00:06:39.474-06:00I'm with you - I'd go for the breading and...I'm with you - I'd go for the breading and not the oysters - good taste runs in the family...Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547530703319496195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681519665016202842.post-61167319684944696152011-09-17T18:10:47.210-06:002011-09-17T18:10:47.210-06:00Hey guys!

Great place.<br /><br />We usually hit good weather in Oregon, but when we didn't we put our good rain gear on and didn't let it stop us from enjoying the northwest. As a matter of fact, the Columbia River Drive is beautiful when the sun shines or it doesn't. My dream is to spend a winter on the coast to watch the surf.<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying, too.hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681519665016202842.post-26614234191745570572011-09-17T04:53:06.981-06:002011-09-17T04:53:06.981-06:00You made do with what mother nature handed you wea...You made do with what mother nature handed you weather-wise and had a fun dayErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.com
