October 8The order of the day was a trip to Astoria where we visited the Columbia River Maritime Museum and we saw some exhibits of some old ships and videos of US Coast Guard rescue boats on a training mission. The last thing we did at the museum was to board the lightship Columbia and get a feel for how the crew lived for two weeks at a time Just after lunch, we left for a climb up the Astoria Column, 164 steps to an observation deck 125 feet above Coxcomb Hill which is 600 feet above the Columbia River, really breathtaking.
