GOING COASTAL,
OREGON,
2019
Replace this box with a map shows Vancouver to Newport, then add a drawing tracing the route of our trip.
I’m excited to see cannon beach because I really want to see all the cool rock formations in the water and the interesting sea life
I’m excited to see these velella velella because they seem like a really interesting type of animal.
OREGON DAY 1
Travelling South with a stop at The Astoria column
A video of our first day in Oregon. We went lots of places including the Astoria column and Dismal nitch. I like my video because it includes time with friends and also time to explore. My favorite part was the Astoria column because it’s like a big comic strip.
The Astoria Column
The Astoria Column is 125 feet tall and is covered on the outside by a frieze that depicts major events in America’s history around the mouth of the Columbia river
OREGON DAY 2
Fort Stevens
One of the things I learned at Fort Stevens is how they fire disappearing rifles. Disappearing rifles are 6-14 inch rifles. The reason they are called disappearing rifles is that after they fire, the recoil moves them back to loading and cleaning position. The thing I found really cool was how everybody worked together like a well oiled machine while loading and firing the rifle. An example of this is how the person in the tower relays the data of what he sees the boats doing to the people in the battery. Every fifteen seconds a bell would ring and then the person in the tower would tell the new data of where the people in the boats were to the battery. The people in the battery would then calculate how fast the boat was moving and where it was going. They would then tell the people firing the rifle where to aim and Voilà!
