Plans

I saw that this was on what I knew to be some sort of park, as I had walked here before. It is flat, sandy river delta, where the Sandy meets the Columbia. In the morning I had decided not to go, but then the afternoon called me outside.

Expedition

It was a short but pleasant drive from Stevenson. A short walk got us just south of the location, looking into a morass of brambles. As I waded in Kate, being more reasonable, watched. A few scratches later and I was there.

I rejoined Kate and we both walked around to the trail just north of the spot. It looked like an equally thorny 250 foot walk from that side so we held hands and took the trail back to the car.
