My previous speaking engagement was on the North Carolina Coast and I posted a photo of the Caper Hatteras lighthouse. The most recent speaking engagement was in Oregon so I decided to post a similar photo but this is not a lighthouse, but sort of looks like one. The is the Astoria Column and is an observation tower (164 steps to the top) that overlooks the meeting of the Columbia River with the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, Oregon. The reason I was in Oregon was to kick off the Ag teachers conference and I also conducted two workshops on being a resilient teacher. It was an enjoyable conference.
