Vancouver Waterfront with Tom

Lori put together another Tom Walk, this time over in Vancouver, WA. Lori, Marilyn, Barbara, Wendy, Tom and I met at the Pearson Air Museum at Fort Vancouver. From there we preceded on our normal route of going pass Fort Vancouver, over the Confluence Bridge, under the I5 bridge to walk along the Vancouver Waterfront Trail. At the end of the is a group of picnic tables and we stopped there for a bit to eat. After our stop we headed to to Esther Short Park and over the Evergreen St. Bridge back to Fort Vancouver. Our last bit was to walk along Officers Row and back to our cars. This was about a 4.5 mile walk.

Sylvia’s New Digs

One of our team, Sylvia, got a new retirement cottage with her husband and they invited us over to see the new digs. We got a tour of the new homestead and garden and then did an exploratory walk of the neighborhood. After our walk we went for lunch at a hole in the wall burger joint that did great burgers and salads.

Wildwood Recreation Site

I went with Lori and Jeanette to explore the BLM Wildwood Recreation Site. Fall was in the air with a cool, light rain at the start of out walk. We started on the Cascade Streamwatch Trail and followed it to the Underwater Viewing Windows. We then switched onto the Trail to Salmon River and followed it up to Old Mill Nature Trail. We did a side trip to look around the Group Picnic Area. We finished up where we started and then head across the Salmon River to Explore the Wetland Boardwalk. We finished that and then headed for lunch at the Smoky Hearth.

Vancouver Waterfront Walk

It had been a while since I have done the Fort Vancouver to Vancouver Waterfront Park walk. I was curious what changes had taken place since the last time I visited.
