Cape Disappointment

Thom and I went on a family camping trip to Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, Washington last week.  Jim, Rebecca, the grandkids, and two of their friends were there; as well as Rebecca’s sister, brother-in-law, and their two boys.   Cape Disappointment is an incredibly beautiful place right by the beach.  It was literally just 50 steps from our camp site to the beach.  One day we took six of the kids on a 5-mile hike/walk.  Walked to the “Wakiki Beach” side of the park.  This part of the beach is covered in an incredible amount of driftwood.  We had planned to walk the trail up to the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, but found it far too slippery with mud from the rain the day before.  It was a very narrow trail and a slip off of it could easily send one down the cliff side.  We didn’t want to risk it.  We were able to see the lighthouse from a different vantage point and we all enjoyed the walk.  The children were very tired by the time we arrived back to camp.  You can see pictures of our camping time at Cape Disappointment by clicking here.  Cape Disappointment is a beautiful place and the campground is very nice.  I highly recommend it.  We had the most wonderful time.
