OREGON COAST
Replace this box with a map shows Vancouver to Newport, then add a drawing tracing the route of our trip.
I’m looking forward to going to cannon beach because in the picture it looks really nice and fun.
I’m looking forward to seeing a sea otter because they are really cute. I haven’t seen a sea otter in a while but I’m hoping we’ll see one on our trip. I’m also looking forward to seeing them crack open a sea urchin because I’ve never seen an otter eat before.

Simply because it’s hilarious to see Liam fail a front flip. Although I think that he can actually do a front flip but that’s beside the point.Loading...

The Astoria Column is 125 feet tall and is covered on the outside by a mural that depicts historical events.

Oregon Day 2
Fort Stevens
They call the battery pratt a disappearing rifle because it would only be visible from the ocean for only one second. It “disappeared” because the cannon would come over the wall, shoot and then the recoil from the shot would put the cannon back down below the wall. The shells for this rifle weighed 100 pounds. There was also a cannon that got decommissioned early because the room they had was too small for the loading and cleaning process.
High Life Adventures
I think that thing like these are important to small towns because they are a way to have fun, make job openings and connect with people around you.

First Nations Section
First Nations Section
When the first colonists came on their exploration most of the first nations welcomed them and in return they gave the first nations people european wears and items. I believe that this changed their lifestyle greatly by removing many of their traditional acts and ceremonies. As well later discriminating them for being different. Although that has long passed i think what happened with them is now an important part of their everyday life. Even though they took the first nations as slaves and raped the women and maybe even children. This problem was serious but it also made the first nations who they are today. I still believe that amends should be made but at least we’re taking a step in the right direction.

Crossing the Bar Section
Crossing the Bar Section
Yes. I do think that I would be willing to cross the bar if there was something pressing on the other side that I had to do. I think that in recent years humans knowledge of dangers and solutions to those dangers that I would be able to cross it without problem. Although it would cost money I don’t have.
