Fort Vancouver Hike
Published on 8/22/2018
August 3, 2018. We had a fabulous fun packed day! We started at the exquisite gardens of the recreation of the circa 1829 Hudson Bay Company fort. We watched a super informative presentation at the blacksmiths' workshop and then headed north to the beautifully maintained historical US Army sites on the fort grounds. Afterwards we continued into downtown Vancouver and learned a lot about the history of the city. Along the way we had a terrific lunch at Dulin’s Cafe. After lunch we walked along the Columbia before returning back to the fort via a really cool land bridge. On our way out of town we stopped at Ice Cream Renaissance to fortify ourselves for the struggle with the Friday afternoon traffic. Participants were member to be Paul Justus, members Janet Templar, Lin Crimshaw, Corriene Thompson, Judy Vaughan, Patty Schaffers, Naomi Penawit, Greda van Veen, Nameun House and leader Carol Soderberg.
