Heading South on the Lewis & Clark Trail

We made it back to U.S. soil and kicked back at Grayland Beach on the Washington coast. Beach combing was the big event there.


Tom actually took the time to stop at a historical marker...but of course, it was about Lewis and Clark. Crossing the Columbia River into the charming town of Astoria, Oregon.

Camping at Fort Stevens State Park (on the very most northwestern tip of Oregon)and riding through the forest on miles of beautiful bike trails has been one of the highlights of the trip
Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wild Sockeye Salmon on the BBQ for dinner...YUM!
Leaving the lovely Oregon coast behind.
A meaningful moment for Lorraine at her mother's gravesite.
Next stop, an enjoyable visit with Tom's Uncle Jim, Aunt Marciel and cousin Mike in Albany.
We made it in time for an evening of worship at John Courson's church in Jacksonville, Oregon.
The music was wonderful and the church grounds are amazingly beautiful as seen in the next photo. Applegate church has an outdoor amphitheater seating several thousand and is beautifully landscaped. A nice place to end the day. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
