Rogue Public House, Astoria, Oregon

Astoria Oregon, located at the mouth of the Columbia River, was the touring destination on Thursday.  We had an interest in seeing the Rogue Public House, if only to pick up a souvenir for our friend Steve in Tucson. 

The Rogue Public House is located out on a pier that must have been part of a fish cannery back in the early 1900s.  The driveway was a narrow board covered pier about 200 yards long, and when we arrived at the parking area, we needed to jockey the van about to fit in one of the few parking slots, the customers must park on the streets and walk over when the place is busy.  Lots of room inside and a double row of beer taps, lots of flavors to choose from.  This place can handle a couple of hundred customers.  Andrew and I gave the restaurant a quick tour while I was choosing a flavor to share with friends in Tucson, then we moved on.

Lewis and Clark have traveled many of the places that we traveled through, and they were here on the coast of Oregon.  This historical marker was on Hwy 101, as was this cannon.  The cannon replica was placed in 1952, and it represents the cannon found on the beach that gave the town Cannon Beach its name.
