Die Mündung des Columbia River markiert die natürliche Grenze zwischen Washington und Oregon. Während der Fluss nach Westen in Richtung Pazifischer Ozean fließt, hält er Washington auf seiner Nordseite und Oregon auf seiner Südseite. In der Nähe von Astoria (Oregon) weitet sich der Fluss und mündet schließlich in der Nähe von Cape Disappointment (Washington) in den Ozean.

Is this what the show Big Mouth was based on
When was the map made? It’s changed since then… but it’s always changing
Imagine being the guy who named Cape disappointment „what should we call this place?“ „eh, let’s be real“
It’s one of the most active (dangerous) bar crossings in the world. The pilots should have a tv series. The south jetty has a couple nice surf breaks
I went there just to see it and stumbled upon an incredible wetland and found some incredibly cool shells and stuff. Neat place. Very intense looking water.
I never realized before how much the river narrows at the mouth. Its exceptionally turbulent current makes much more sense now.
Stay back Washington! Don’t come any further Oregon!
That’s the most violent bar I’ve ever crossed to go fishing.
The design of this map is viscerally disgusting
This treacherous entrance is why Portland never became a major port city the way easier to navigate to Seattle, SF/OAK, LA/LB & San Diego became.
AKA the Graveyard of the Pacific
Spent countless hours on the south jetty with my spotting scope looking for pelagic birds. Fort Stevens State Park! Gorgeous
This is why Portland pilots are payed extremely well.
