Oregon Coast - Astoria

A nice day to drive to Astoria. You can't tell from the pictures, but these are flashing green - go! go! go!?
 We need to look for gas and a place to get some fish and chowder before leaving Oregon!
 This restaurant is right next to the gas station and there is a large parking lot across the street - sold!
 A nice view and we keep seeing a Trolley go by so Gary goes over to the two ladies across from us and asks about it.  We find out we can ride all day on and off for $2 or Stay on for $1
 So we hop on!

 Darn!  We could have brought Tucson!
 There's the bridge we'll be taking to Washington

They built this hotel on the Cannery Site and kept the look of it.

 Nice murals on the buildings depicting early days of Astoria.  Notice the seats, at the end of the line you grab the handle and the back slides over the seat so it is then facing the right way.
 I could live here, especially the one on the right backs up to the water
 They have sea lions here too
 There were a lot of large ships by the mouth of the River
We're at the Coast Guard Station - time to turn around
 
We turn around and ride back all the way to the train garage so they can change conductors

We get off a couple of stops before our RV so we can walk a bit.

On the walk back I take a break at Astoria's smallest beach

 What a great way to spend the afternoon, but time to get back on the road!
