I’m really excited to see a starfish because, I find them really cool! They are one of my favourite sea animals because I find them unique and different from other animals. They’re really cool because you wouldn’t think they could move but they do and it’s really interesting to watch.
The Astoria Column
Oregon Day 1
The Astoria Column is 125 feet tall and is covered on the outside by a frieze that depicts historical moments.
Oregon Day 2
Fort Stevens
Today I learned that in World War Two they has to cover up the cannons because the Japanese might think that it is an artillery and decide to bomb it. They had to build over the pits and then plant greenery overtop. They planted the greenery so that from above it looked even less suspicious.

Crossing the Bar Section
Crossing the Bar Section
I think crossing the bar would be a really cool experience! It would be a great adventure and a great story to tell friends and family when you get back. Personally I don’t think I would do it because of all the dangers and risks there are. You also would have to go through training to first know how to drive a boat, and then special training to be able to get through safely and know how to let the pilot on properly.
Cannon Beach
Cannon Beach is most well known for haystack Rock. It is sometimes called the 4th largest intertidal rock in the world.
Tillamook Cheese Factory and Izzy’s Buffet
It was founded here because Oregon is a wet place place which is good for the cows. If you have good healthy cows you are able to produce good milk which turns into good cheese and other dairy products.
Oregon Day 4
Quests!
The first time my group went out we missed a lot of the clues because we got distracted pretty easily. When we came back with nothing we got sent back out. The second time we read the clues more closely and realized we had to go more into the sedges (bushes) to find a path. When we were all looking and on task we found the path. After that my group was really good at communicating and not leaving anyone behind. We stuck as a group the whole time which made it really easy to talk and figure out clues together. We learned that you have to read some things more closely because its pointing you in the right direction the whole time even if you may not see it. We had to try and stay on topic but sometimes when we were goofing off we would find clues in the weirdest places. My group all got along and together well, it was a really fun experience!
