one side and the shop on the other is the Lewis &amp; Clark Discovery Trail, loaded with statues and other items (including a gray whale skeleton!) commemorating their first contact with the Pacific Ocean. The trail connects nearby Ilwaco (home of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/?p=42311\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lewis &amp; Clark Interpretive Center<\/a>) and Long Beach, a place <a href=\"https:\/\/mellzah.com\/?s=long+beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in which I&#8217;ve engaged in many shenanigans<\/a> but somehow had never seen this before, maybe because it didn&#8217;t involve riding down flights of stairs on an air mattress or shooting unsuspecting friends with a marshmallow gun. The trail itself is 8.5 miles long, but owing to having just hiked a bunch at Cape Disappointment, I wasn&#8217;t ready to dedicate myself to the entire thing. I&#8217;m thinking this summer, I&#8217;ll strap my bike to the back of the car and bike it. For now, just goofing around on a sturgeon will have to suffice.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Long Beach, nestled between the beach on one side and the shop on the other is the Lewis &amp; Clark Discovery Trail, loaded with statues and other items (including a gray whale skeleton!) commemorating their first contact with the Pacific Ocean.
