Astoria, OR Seven Seas Mariner 5/23/04

Anyone needing questions anwsered about what there is to see and do in
Astoria. I would be glad to assist.
1. Weather is cool in the morning average 45 to 54 and as the day
warms up. If overcast 60's and sunny 70's+,they have a saying here if
you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes. It is like most coastal
areas where the wind starts to pick up around 12:00 or 1:00 and when
the land mass has cooled down the wind subsides in the late afternoon.

2. Astoria has an old trolley that runs from one end of town to the
other and is run by volunteers.

3. Take the trolley and get off at the Columbia River Maritime
Maritime Museum, which is located a few blocks from downtown.

4. A trip to the Astoria Column is a wonderful site. It is above
Astoria overlooking the water on both sides the Youngs Bay and the
Columbia River and you can see the ships cross the trecherous and
famous Columbia River Bar. (The graveyard of the
Pacific)http://www.oregoncoast.com/Astorcol/Astorcol.htm
5. Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark wintered over in the winter of
1805-1806 http://www.nps.gov/focl/
6.You have hit Astoria on the best day of the week Sunday and are
lucky enough to be able to go to the Northwests Famous "Astoria Sunday
Market". http://www.astoriasundaymarket.org/

You will wish you had three days instead of just one to be in Astoria
because there is so much to see and do you will not have enough time.


If anyone has any additional questions I would be glad to anwser if I
can and if I don't know I will point you in the right direction.

Have a nice voyage and I hope I have helped to anwser some of the
questions you may have had.

And I welcome you to the city of Volunteers. They will be just about
everywhere you will go!

That's a whole lot of information you've given us. I've read that Astoria
folks are very friendly to visitors. Thanks. :-)

We stop there as a port of call a couple of years ago and fell in love with
this wonderful town. We have been back to visit and again had a wonderful
time. The people are very friendly and we got to experience the Sunday
Market. Actually looked at property for sale. Anyone going there can
anticipate a wonderful experience.
