So, heres what the begining
of the walk to the bus stop looks like

then as you round the 1st corner of the hill you see this,

then after the huffing and the puffing you get to the top and voila!

the beautifull Astoria
Meglar bridge (I know the name, who picked that?) and the enormous mouth of the Columbia River. And while the view is worth the walk...I usually drive. But still,
isnt it awesome? this is what I see out my dining room window, theres a few more houses in my view but who cares, I love it.
