Lewis and Clark explored the Louisiana Purchase for President Jefferson. They started at St Louis and trekked up the Missouri River - then crossed the Great Divide into the Northwest. It took them 2 years - but they ended up at Seaside OR along the coast. They built this fort for protection for 4 months and then headed home.
There is a replica fort here for you to explore. Lewis and Clark conducted a well-documented scientific excursion.
The coastal area of the Northwest is full of bays - rivers - tributaries - estuaries. They are all subject to tidal action.
The beautiful capitol at Olympia was empty on a Saturday.
The Capitol is on a hill overlooking the town and the water.
The coast in the area has a large area between low and high tide. Note these boats at low tide - also see the capitol in the background.
