Emily and I finally arrived at Cape Disappointment State Park after two days of travel - by ferry, plane, and auto. We set up camp first thing, then went off to explore. The sound of waves crashing against the rugged Washington coast lured us in that direction. Most of the evening was spent chasing waves and rock climbing!
In the early a.m. we hiked up to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center and then on to the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. The center provided us with wonderful opportunities to learn about the winter of 1804-05 and from the lighthouse we could begin to imagine how the Corps of Discovery must have felt when they finally got their first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean.
It was a wonderful day! On to Ft. Clatsop National Historic Site.
