The Great Columbia Crossing

So it was a partly cloudy Sunday morning and I was standing curbside outside Chinook, WA with about two thousand others. At 0900 the gun sounded and we were off. It is was the 27Th annual Great Columbia crossing. It is a 10k race/walk across the Astoria-Megler Bridge. I chose to do the walk so I could take my camera to get some photos of the area from a higher vantage point. The fastest runner finished at just over 30min the slowest walker at a little over two hours.
I finished at 1:14:26 and took just over a hundred photos
Here's the best of themSunrise on the Washington side



Looking to the future


Ever wonder what a tire see's
There are participant's all the way back to the Washington
side of the bridge

Port of Astoria
Crested the top and headed down hill now


Oh the places we have been
the decisions to come
Victory at last
This look says it all, Mainly dad for not taking me I shall give you...

The silent treatment
