We had a beautiful drive down the coast of Washington and crossed the 4.1-mile bridge in to Astoria, Oregon. Astoria is the oldest settlement west of the Rocky Mountains as an important fur trading location. Lewis and Clark ended their 4,000-mile trek to the Pacific here and built Fort Clatsop, where they spent the winter of 1805. One of the early ship Captains built a Victorian home high on a hill that stayed in the family until it was donated to the Historical Society a few years ago. The home was mostly original and interesting. After a short trip through the town on the refurbished 1913 streetcar we drove to Tillamook, Oregon to an RV Park. This one has a WIFI system that works!
