CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT! Tour d'Joko Long Beach Edition: Episode Three

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.


These are the words of Lord Alfred Tennyson. The poem is posted on a sign at the lighthouse at the very tip of the land just north of the mouth of the Columbia River, Cape Disappointment.

I Googled it and discovered that this is the second most western place one can get to in the continental United States. The most is a place called Cape Alva, Washington I may be going there next.

Of the three videos Ive made of the journey thus far (see the other two by clicking on the link below to my previous blog), this is my favorite.

Mandatory blog ending question:
BETTER ENYA OR ON YA?

Whoops! The poem was written by Alfred Tennyson, not whoever's name I put in there.
