Today is Friday. Yesterday Bill, Robbie and I went for a fairly long bike ride (remembering that the bike I ride is battery operated). We rode down to an old ship wreck, to a World War II Battery (that Battery was the first place since the war of 1812 that a foreign power attacked U.S.A. soil) and to the lake. Robbie has made this ride about a dozen times on Bill’s mountain bike – great exercise for him. As always, we barbecued that night and Robbie began cooking the vegetables on top of the fire pit. Amazingly, the corn was delicious.
Today we went into Astoria and took the trolley along the river bank. It was an hour ride for $1.00 a person - the best money we’ve spent thus far. After that we dropped Robbie off at the Maritime Museum and while we were waiting for him, Bill and I went to lunch at a famous spot in Astoria called the Wet Dog.
We’re now beginning to pack up as we’ve decided to cut short our time in Fort Stevens. We will leave in the morning.
