| | Fort To Sea Trail |
 | | Today, thanks to the military, enormous construction progress is being made this summer on the new Fort-To-Sea Trail project, which will replicate the Lewis and Clark expedition’s original footpath between Fort Clatsop and the Pacific Ocean. |
 | | The trail is a partnership of the National Park Service, Oregon State Parks and Recreation, and more than 15 businesses donating an estimated $400,000 in goods and services. |
 | | The quality of work on the trail impressed a recent surprise visitor, retired U.S. Army Gen. Tommy Franks, a member of the National Park Foundation Board of Directors, a congressionally chartered organization that exists to raise funds for parks development. |
