It was a beautiful day for a nice walk. I went on a walk the Clark County Historical Museum put on. Each year they have several different walks which are very nicely done. They charge a fee which helps the museum and isn't very much, about $5/walk. There are 12 of them this summer on Friday and repeated on Saturday by in a different order.
The walk today was along Officers Row at Fort Vancouver. There are some beautiful houses there, some more than a century old. Most of them have businesses in them which helps in the upkeep of the homes and gives the businesses a classy place to do buiness. It's a win/win.
Fort Vancouver is a National Historic Site with a fort, which, of course, has been build recently but is nicely done. There are a lot of school buses this week as teachers try to figure out what to do with a bunch of kids who are very anxious for school to end. The exhibits at the fort are very interesting and they show both historic and archaeological aspects.
