I am making a quick trip to Longview to pick up my truck (post below). They called and it is ready.Fortunately, the trip is much faster with Highway 30 on the Oregon side and the Astoria-Megler bridge.
It used to be- you would travel by steamship to get down river. Once people were driving cars- you would ferry over the river.
While I am in the big city of Longview (it isn't big- trust me) we will make the trip to Wal-Mart, Target and load up on supplies.
(isnt this pathetic?-I am blogging about a trip to Longview.)

Hey, any excuse to post those excellent old photos is worth it, even if it is a trip to the bustling metropolis of Longview (a place we considered moving to, until we actually visited it..) and their Wal-Mart!
Hi there. Nice Blog. Thanks for adding me on twitter. ;)
The Oregon side is shorter for the simple reason of legislative pork-barrel politics on the Washington side. When SR4 was designed, some politician decide there was no way the highway was going to bypass his town, so the route was altered ... adding about a half hour to the trip.
