Camping at Fort Stevens

We camped at Fort Stevens State Park for 3 nights and visited Astoria.

Fort Stevens State Park in Oregon - what a beautiful place! We got an up-close and personal tour of the old guardhouse/prison


The tank testing area




At a wildlife blind. We biked throughout the whole park on the day that we rented bikes






This section of the fort - Battery 245 - is IDENTICAL in structure to the battery at Fort Ebey


The rifle range


The wreck of the Peter Iredale


Miles and miles of beautiful windswept isolation is possible here...


We really enjoyed biking through the parkThe bikes we rented from the nearby KOA campsite


The observation tower










A living history demonstrationThe old barracks




The moat at the Parados - old civil war era earthworksWent down to the Columbia river to have our snack




No idea what this is


Mine loading building


Picnic in the grass


Getting ready to roast some marshmallowsKenny is giving Peter "points" for giving him a head massage


Beautiful views from the Astoria Tower


They sold 1$ gliders to be flown from the top - they were a big hit


We had tuna fish and chips here - interesting, but I prefer halibut


During the tram ride through downtown Astoria, we saw the old staircase from the Astoria Column
