Cape Disappointment, WA - mouth of the Columbia River

The last two nights of August, we headed south to the Washington / Oregon border - Cape Disappointment State Park on the Long Beach peninsula. The only thing disappointing was that we only had two nights there! A short walk from our campsite was a lovely path to the beach, with driftwood galore. Nearby are two lighthouses, the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, the impressive North Jetty of the Columbia River, and many terrific hiking trails. We also toured Long Beach and visited the World Kite Museum.



Though Rexie is really showing his 15 years lately, he still acts like a puppy on the beach, chasing down every bit of fluff / seaweed / feather blowing across the sand. He remembers the grunion in California and is hunting for more! Most of the time, I think he's a very "happy camper".
