The kids went to Mt St Helen's today, we went to Kalama.

Kalama was entirely a Northern Pacific railroad creation. It was unofficially born in May 1870 when the Northern Pacific railroad turned the first shovel of dirt. Northern Pacific built a dock, a sawmill, a car shop, a roundhouse, a turntable, hotels, a hospital, stores, homes.  It boasts a 140 foot tall totem pole, one of the tallest single-log totem poles.

We were there to walk barefoot in the sand.
