2010, Day 311 - Sandy shores

With a somewhat foreboding forecast I decided to take advantage of the morning sunshine to take a walk along the Willamette River. While there are beaches on the Oregon side they are more easily access and don't require a parking permit in Washington so I headed over to Vancouver to adventure.

I started at Frenchman's Bar Trail in Vancouver Lake Park and walked a couple of miles along the beach the up river. The port in Vancouver gets a lot of traffic and there are barges putting along, laden with cargo and huge cranes silhouetted against the sky. It was nice, a little cool but refreshing although less so when I got caught in the rain. Oh well, we all know that rain is inevitable in the Pacific Northwest, so I headed back to my car and managed not to get totally soaked. Despite the need to cut my walk short it was well worth it.
