The Oregon coast, the Columbia River, and the Washington coast all are decorated with the names of Lewis and Clark on sign posts, museums, and memorials. It's hard to tell where one memorial ends and another begins. So when I took a wrong turn, one of the only ones on my trip, I was afraid I would miss what I was looking for. Not only did it put me exactly where I wanted to be, which was on the tip of Cape Disappointment, but it also put me in perfect position to witness the Coast Guard doing something unexpected.
As I stood at the tip of soil that jutted out into the ocean taking pictures of the coastline, I heard a helicopter and turned to see it coming straight at me. I held my camera on it as it flew through maneuvers, flew out towards the ocean, turned around and then came back at me. What a great show! I was the only one standing there to witness it.
