Temperatures continue to be moderate as the low temperature was 64F and for the most part of the day the temperature was in the mid 70s until late afternoon when it reached 81F while traveling along Interstate 5 in Oregon. Gasoline was purchased twice, both $3.819/gallon, as over 430 miles were put on the Kia today. The West Coast was my destination today as there were two lighthouses in Ilwaco, Washington. As luck would have it, Cape Disappointment State Park, where the lighthouses were located, had an Interpretive Center of Lewis and Clark, which highlighted the last leg of their journey through Washington. There is also a campsite (Station Camp) of Lewis and Clark on Route 101 near the Astoria Megler Bridge. In 2005 archeologists found abundant physical evidence to support the importance of the site as a Chinook trade village. In addition the European artifacts found were from both before and after the Corps' (Lewis and Clark entourage) visit in 1805 to the site.
Crater Lake is my destination tomorrow, let's hope I can find it this time through the mist.
Until then!

Hopefully, the Wizard will still be there!
