Beautiful Cape Disappointment

​We finally took our new Escape to a favorite place, Cape Disappointment on the mouth of the Columbia River.

​It's the site of two significant historical eras: Lewis and Clark stayed here at the end of their great journey in 1805. Then, as people started sailing up the Columbia from the ocean, the mouth of the river became known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific" as boats tried and failed to navigate the sand bars and horrific water and weather conditions common to the mouth of the river. 

But for us, it was a beautiful, peaceful, and remarkably private camp site.
