8269.5 MILES: How are these two states alike? They’re the only two states I know of where The Man (how folks here refer to government) prohibits self-service gas. And still, gas here is ten-cents cheaper than Houston–where we MAKE the stuff. Go figure.

2702.0 MILES: Time to start the trek home to Houston, leaving what Lewis & Clark called Elk Creek in 1806. They came here in search of a new delicacy shared with them by local indians: whale blubber. See? Even back then people didn’t eat right.
It’s curtains for Cannon Beach

CANNON BEACH: Named for a cannon that washed ashore from the USS Sloop of War "Shark," sunk while attempting to leave the Columbia River in 1846, Cannon Beach is a return-worthy destination. I wrapped up my visit last night seeing See How They Run. Local theatre is so fun.
