Old Sauvie Island Bridge (Demolished in 2008)

Sauvie Island Bridge: Multnomah County is planning to sell this bridge! Would you like to buy it??? Check out this Oregonian Article from 7/22/05 (Your humble Photographer is quoted in the article.)

Just northwest of the St. Johns Bridge, the Sauvie Island Bridge connects you to Sauvie Island! And yes, the correct name is "Sauvie Island" not "Sauvie's Island."

Mt. Saint Helens: This active volcano had its last serious eruption in May, 1980, but had a minor but attention-getting eruption of ash in March 2005 (see photos in this gallery). Mt. Saint Helens was named by British explorers in 1792, after Baron St. Helens. It is only 50 miles from Portland, Oregon.

See the WikiPedia entry on Mt. Saint Helens.

This Shoot: These photos were shot on Highway 30 west of Portland on the way to Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River.
