The Yaquina Bay Bridge was built in 1934-36. It is one of eleven bridges along the Oregon Coast Highway designed by Conde McCullough, an engineer who was head of the Bridge Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation. The bridge is one of the more recognizable landmarks along the Oregon coast.

This is one of the smaller and less well known falls in the Columbia River Gorge. In fact, I had driven by this several times over the years without seeing it. It is quite lovely.

Road Trip–Multonomah Falls
My trip took me from central Oregon to Portland along the Columbia River. Multonomah Falls are the best known of the Columbia River Gorge waterfalls. There was less water in the falls in October of a dry year, but still they are beautiful.
