Not planned but I liked this place Backstage Cafe for Dinner and a movie...
Then it was the Kelso Train Depot ...
... and a really unique mural.
Longview, Washington has a very nice park surrounding a lake and the park is called Sakagawea Lake Park...
There are a couple of islands in the long narrow lake and this one is the Japanese Garden Island .
Walking through the park every turn has a new and serene view like this portal with flower
petals .........
... strewn in two rows ...
...and there are contemplative spots to sit and enjoy the view...
... and some of the views are amazingly calming.
I liked the bamboo fence...
... the small pagoda tower....
... and this delightful shaded covered spot...
The Ducklings like a partially shaded place close to the water.
Kelso and Longview were closed to our RV park but then we drove along the Columbia River to Cathlamet, Washington in Wahkiakum County where we were greeted by Gumby and Pokey...
and some fantastic flowers.
We saw the Columbia Saloon...
... and I visited the Wahkiakum Eagle a county newspaper so charming I had to go inside ...
... where I met Kathy (sp) and another fellow staff member and had a nice chat...
... and on the way back got another long distance view of Mount St Helens from near Stella, Washington and...
...back in Longview a political sign for Joe Gardner who isn't afraid of tough issues or Bigfoot for that matter. I suspect the tough issues have to do with drowning government in a bathtub but I could be wrong he may not be a Tea Party type.
