I love lighthouses and always visit them if I'm in the area.
First up is
Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. Located at the mouth of the Columbia River in the SW corner of Washington.
Quote:
Starting as a small stream at the base of the Canadian Rockies, the Columbia River travels more than 1200 miles, merging with rivers and streams, until it meets the Pacific Ocean. The force of the Columbia flowing into the sea creates one of the most treacherous bars in the world. There are 234 identified ships that stranded, sunk, or burned between 1725 and 1961 near the mouth of the river.
