Fort Clatsop Destroyed by Fire
This is really sad...Fort Clatsop, a replica of the fort the Lewis & Clark expedition stayed in 200 years ago, was destroyed by fire last night. Cause is unknown, although evidently there is a "vehicle of interest." This article mentions a group of people who went on an 18-day tour following the Lewis & Clark trail, who arrived at the fort today. "We were looking forward to see it, today was the day. We can't get over it."I visited Fort Clatsop with two of my sons over labor day weekend. It was very cool, and I'm glad I got to see it. Although it sounds like it will be rebuilt. L&C build the original in about 15 days with no electricity, so there's hope it can be done soon (the one that burned was not a 200-year-old original one, but a replica built 50 years ago).

We were in the area in August and got to see the Replica. It is a shame that this building was set on fire. I have never see what was the the cause, but do hope that it will be rebuilt for more people to enjoy in the years to come. Shingletown CA
