Trojan Park, Rainier Oregon

 

We took exit 36 from Seattle to access Highway 432 then Highway 433 to Highway 30. Trojan Park was still closed to the picnic area. so I just took pictures outside the entrance gate.

East Lake Samamish Trail

 

ELST

After we dropped Alethea to her Montesori, Yvonne took us here, we walked and she jogged along the East Lake Samamish Trail known as ELST. I walked about 2.8 miles on this trail and while I took pictures.

Columbia River Mouth

 

My favorite image of the morning

We stayed in Astoria thinking that the next day we will have the famous fish and chips from Bowpicker, we were there minutes before elevenish opening, still no activity. Curious, I go out and check the sign. ALAS, it is closed from May 2nd to May 11th. We went home via US 30 instead US 26, longer but a different scenery.

Ecola State Park

 

Ecola State Park - Cannon Beach

Now, that we are fully vaccinated, we are venturing out to see places locally within 100 miles from home, Ecola State Park has been in my mind for awhile.

Sunday Morning Walk

 

SW Weir Road

When I saw how green it was the other day, I decided to walk up here and capture the trees. It was only 0.9 miles to get up here but it is very steep, my iPhone captured 17 flight stairs climbed.

Bauman Farms

 

Since it was still early and we are done with Thompson's Mills, we stopped by here after we filled our tummy with In-n-Out burger.

Thompson's Mills State Heritage Site

 

After seeing this place from KGW-Grant's Getaways a few times, I decided to search in on the web and made a plan to see it myself, the only drawback is we could not get in due the pandemic, other than that it was a fine trip.
