The Graveyard of the Pacific
(So named because of all the ships lost)
Mid Way RV Resort is a great spot to make side trips, something we like to do. Today we started west from Centralia, WA to the Pacific Coast.
We walked along a nice path to an overlook above the beach.
At the end of the path we had a great view of North Head Lighthouse.
The path back (a loop) took us along the light-keepers residences.
A short drive brought us to a very nice Washington State Park where we enjoyed a picnic lunch.
Then we took an easy walk out to a jetty where people were fishing. They were biting. We saw several steel-heads brought in as we walked along.
A little further along we were able to take a short drive out onto the beach,
Later we caught another view of a lighthouse from a distance, and saw a cranberry farm.
After driving along the coast road for miles we turned inland again and followed the Columbia River from it's mouth back to I-5.
We passed by small interesting fishing villages
and even a covered bridge.
We picked up I-5 near Kelso, and then it was back north to home. It was another great retirement day-trip.
