Photos from our trip to Long Beach

This is a replica of the tree William Clark carved in when he visited Long Beach on the very last leg of this journey out West. It says, "William Clark, November 19, 1805, by land from the U States." Strange to think that WA wasn't a State at that point.


We hiked a bit through the forest...


Jacob "discovering" the William Clark tree...

We went in search what remained of the great civilization, the Chinook Nation, that once lived in that area of Washington. All we found was this run-down, one room office...it wasn't opened when we went.

Northwest beaches are wild places. The Pacific Ocean is so vast, so unpredictable. And we found these clumps of seaweed that literally looked other-worldly.
