OK well I am going to repost ALL my photos now cuz they all somehow got deleted. I guess your not suppose to delete the pics after you used em

Here it goes........ (ugh this is gonna take a while)


This one was taken from south of the marina in Portland.


This one was taken on a beach. (im not sure where it was though) we loved the rocks and how HUGE they were!


This one was taken from Strawberry Hill. A local tipped us off to go there and we were glad we did! The tidepools and seals were so cool!


The pier in Newport. It smelled bad and was pretty noisy, but it was funny hearing all the seals taliking to one another.


Newport again, taken from the pier. (the seals were just below us)


We thought this was a pretty unique shot of the Astoria Bridge.


Astoria taken from the colum


This one is of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.

wow, nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

another one of the rose gardens. agen the skyline can be seen a little in the background


This one was taken from behind the Astoria colum. It is lokking south of the city, away from the river. If you can see the sign in the foreground, it is explaining that Lewis and Clark once roamed the area. Hey, Did you know that Astoria is the oldest city west of the Mississippi? Thats pretty cool.


Astoria again, looking towards the big bridge from the Maritime Museum. You can see parts of the Riverfront, with the trolley. I heard that cruise ships dock at Astoria, cuz they have their own harbor, west of the bridge. Thats pretty cool, too. Do cruise ships go to Portland, too? I think they should. People often overlook Portland, although it really is a great and unique city. Theres more to do there than people realize.


Haystack Rock and her sisters at sunset. Did you know that Haystack is the largest rock on the West coast? It's so BIG! How do those things get there anyways?

ok im gonna try this quote thing now hope it works!

[quote=illinoisboy;3230034] Hey, Did you know that Astoria is the oldest city west of the Mississippi?

Also did you know that the Portland courthouse is also the oldest one west of the Mississippi, so is the Oregon Zoo?

I just wanted to throw that in.
