Astoria, old and new---


 The dolly was used to haul fishing boats out of the water.   Some of the canneries are simply gone,   some have been replaced by hotels.

Terrible Tilly!


Tillamook Rock Lighthouse sits on a rock a mile offshore of Tillamook Head in Clatsop County, Oregon. Operating from 1881 to 1957, the lighthouse was nicknamed Terrible Tilly for its ferocious storms and the difficulties facing lighthouse keepers stationed there. It was the most expensive lighthouse built in the United States up to that time.
