We continued north on the peninsula of Fort Stevens State Park and visited the very northern tip of land on the south side of the mouth of the Columbia River.
Unfortunately, the bird identification panels in the bunker were faded and in need of replacement.
But the views of the bay and trestles was still quite nice (in spite of the nasty weather). We do not know for sure, but the I believe the trestles supported the train tracks used to transport rocks for the building of the South Jetty.
The South Jetty had an excellent observation tower you cold climb to be able to view the Pacific on the other side of the jetty.
Did I mention that it was a wet and windy morning? After this, we took a break for lunch and then explored further.
There was a nice boardwalk out to the viewing bunker.
