The Dalles Oregon
After negotiating the Long Narrows on October 25th, 1805, the Corps pulled in to shore at the confluence of Mill Creek and the Columbia. The Captains named the spot "Fort Rock Camp." The interpretive signs, above, explain the situation - rumors of a possible attack. I arrived at The Dalles from Doug's Beach State Park via WA HWY 14 west and crossed the Columbia River on US HWY 197 south. Top left, the view east, up the Columbia, from Fort Rock. Left, looking west, down the Columbia. There are some doubts about this being the actual site.
