We drove over the 4.1 mile truss bridge, the longest in North America, connecting Astoria, OR to Megler, WA. It took us thirty miles to realize we had taken a wrong turn and were almost at the top of a cape called Cape Disappointment. All I can say about that experience is that the name couldn't be any more fitting! The California and Oregon coastlines are so spectacular we assumed the same was true about Washington. There were some nice beaches like the one we visited in the pictures but overall the Washington Coast was pretty plain with only a small amount of water to be seen from the road. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time on the coast, climbing on rocks and driftwood, closely encountering two bald eagles and even finding a washed up fishing crate from Japan.
