Cape Disappointment was the encampment of the Lewis and Clark expedition when they arrived at the Pacific Ocean in mid-December 1805. Though the vistas before me are awe inspiring, I imagine this setting would have appeared an inhospitable environment for a tired and hungry band of explorers entering the teeth of winter — thus its name.This fence is made of six-foot high cedar planks mounted on steel posts set into six inches of concrete. Originally meant only to keep the beagle in her own yard, it also provides space for an outside gallery.

In this section I have displayed a rusted out replica metal watering can (perpetually watering the fern below), the steering wheel from a tug boat that plied the Columbia River near here, a bird sanctuary bearing repurposed items, and just beyond it, a hay-harpoon from eastern Washington.
