After setting up camp on Thursday we headed N on Hwy 101 to Fort Stevens.
Now I hate learning about history from a text book in a classroom but Spence loves it. We both however love to see actual history. It is so cool to be able to walk around a historical landmark and see all the different things. That still doesn't mean that I retain the great things that I learn even though I probably should.

Our view
We absolutely love Oregon for all its beauty and because we can look one direction and see the ocean or water of some sort and another and see a huge forest. We can drive a hour and a half to the beach and to the mountain. It is also great to live in a place were there is so much history!
Look at those huge tools they used! ^
Birds LOVE the inside of the cool and dark battery.
Mama Deer

Not sure if you can see it but off in the distance of this picture is the bridge that takes you to Astoria. ^

We enjoyed our trip to Fort Stevens very much! It reminded us of all the things that we LOVE about Oregon!
