August 3, 2012: Day 9, Oregon Zoo

Camp, we loved our site, there were some small trails that lead to this neat tree, where deer liked to hang out.

The park at the campground.

 The beach connected to camp.  Just a few minutes walk from camp.

Canon Beach

What a view!  The drive back to camp.

We drove to Fort Clatsop National Historic Park, the nearest National Park so we could replace our National Park Passports.  While there, we found some great resources for teaching about the journey of Lewis and Clark.  We had a fairly busy and stressful day, after all the excitement of yesterday.  It was nice to have some time to just sit at the beach.
