Day 20: June 8 – Fort Stevens State Park, OR – Day 2

I managed to get up early this morning and go for an hour long walk. The first of the trip ☹️

The walk took me along the shore of a small lake near our campsite and then I headed toward the beach. It’s early so there was almost nobody about.

I managed to get these two pictures of what remains of the wreck of the Peter Iredale. This was a 3-masted steel hulled barque that ran aground in 1906 during bad weather when trying to navigate into the Columbia River just a half mile North.

After returning to the campsite, we spent a relaxing morning enjoying the sunshine albeit somewhat cool at just 14 degrees C.

After lunch we decided to take our bikes down onto the beach to ride them along the hard packed sand.

For dinner we enjoyed steak, potatoes and grilled vegetables with some wine we picked up at Arcadian Moon Winery in Higginsville, Missouri. For the record, the mosquitoes were really bad and the citronella candle was required to have them leave us alone.
