This week we went to Cape Disappointment in Washington just across the border from Oregon where the huge Columbia river runs into the ocean. At the mouth of the river into the ocean, it is probably at least five miles wide. I say this because the bridge across the river at its narrowest point is 4 and a half miles wide. At the mouth of the river and along the shore, there were multitudes of shipwrecks due to the fierce winds and deceptive sandbanks. Now it is different because they dredge the river for the big ships and these ships are now engine run instead of wind powered. It was called Cape Disappointment because from what I heard, after ships got into the mouth of the river, they still had two miles to go before they could safely anchor.
Trip to Cape Disappointment!
