9/18/18 - Fort Stevens State Park, Hammond, OR

We left the National Park this morning and went to Hammond, Oregon.  We got a site at Ft. Stevens State Park.  Then we went to Buoy Brewing in Astoria, Oregon.  Astoria was the first permanent U.S. settlement on the Pacific coast.  This brewery sits on the water where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.  They have big picture windows with views of the ships traversing the river.  There is a plexiglass window in the floor where you can observe (and hear) sea lions on a platform below.  Then we went to Hondo’s Brew and Cork.  This is a brewery and a home brew supply store.
