More Pictures along the way - April 17th - Tillamook, OR to Astoria, OR

The drive up the Oregon coast from Tillamook to Astoria continued the beautiful views. This was taken near Nehalem Bay. We passed a lot of beautiful views along the way, the area around Manzanita was just awesome. The picture below seemed like a painting. The sky looking south was just too perfect for a picture.
Looking north up the coast of Manzanita, Diane looking south.
Looking down at the beach at Manzanita where the two pictures above were taken. This was taken from NeahKahanie mountain.

As we moved up the coast we stopped at a lot of different locations.
Diane in a cave along the beach. The black on the stone is from fires held in the cave.
The lighthouse Terrible Tilly taken from Cannon Beach.
Looking south from the same beach.

In Astoria is very long bridge "Astoria Bridge" that crosses the Columbia River from Oregon to Washington state.
In Astoria is a tall column sitting up on top of the tallest hill in Astoria. It has the history on key events in Astoria's history.Here is a smaller portion blown up.
Looking out to the West from our hotel. On the left is the northwestern tip of Oregon. On the right is the southwest time of Washington state.

Tomorrow we cross over into Washington state.
