A couple of days ago I and my brothers got the opportunity to go canoeing with a couple of other guys. When we got there was the sun was starting to heat up the day, and we launched into the Lewis & Clark River. It was kind of ironic to think that a few hundred years ago Lewis & Clark were doing the exact same thing, but probably with a lot better skill than we were. We passed Netul Landing, which was the canoe launch location while they stayed at Fort Clatsop, and even stopped there ourselves for a quick bite.
One of the great advantages to living in this area is the abundance of wildlife we can see each day. For instance, on this excursion I saw three bald eagles. Two were perched up on trees and the third is pictured below. He was eating a salmon he caught and cawed a little bit at us when we got too close. The fish was still flapping a bit, which was kind of funny. 
The sun turned out for us and it was a blast. I have also gone on the Young’s Bay kayaking with a school class and that was a ton of fun as well. I guess one of the advantages to living here is having lot’s of water. It’s been a great summer so far and hopefully there is more to come.
