Lewis & Clark Trail

Megler Washington

On November 12, the Expedition was able to move about half a mile along the Columbia estuary, closer to the ocean. There, the unrelenting weather pinned them down again. The new campsite, "Point Distress," now Point Ellice - where the Astoria-Megler Bridge meets the Columbia's north shore. Top right, the north shore near the bridge similar to the terrain of the "Point Distress" campsite.
