PierPressure

Eight stops. Eight photos. One pier.

There's a whole working pier under your feet — a wine bar, a smoke-and-crab counter, a canvas shop, a coffee window at the water's edge, and a sloth with one eye. No signup, no entry fee, no prize, nothing to turn in. Any order, any day. Take the shot, tag the shop. Tap a stop to tick it off.

1 Ghost Ship Trading Post ✓ Find the one-eyed sloth. He is in there. He is watching. He's only got the one eye, so get on his good side. ◉You and the sloth, eye to eye. On the pier — trading post, hard to miss. 2 Athena's Mediterranean ✓ Ask what the crepe special is today and order it. No substitutions, no "what else you got." Today's special or nothing. ◉The crepe, before you wreck it. On the pier — Mediterranean kitchen. 3 Ole' Bob's ✓ Ask what the catch of the day is and what boat it came in on. Say hi to whatever's still moving in the crab tank. ◉You and today's catch. On the pier — seafood counter with the live crab tank. 4 Vineside Wine Bar ✓ Say hey to Justin. Tell him what you like, let him pour what he thinks, and do not second-guess the man. Have two. ◉You, Justin, and a full glass. On the pier — wine bar. 5 Coffee Girl ✓ Out at the very end of the pier, in the old cannery lunchroom. Coffee in one hand, something sweet in the other. ◉Your cup with the Columbia behind it. The very far end of the pier, in the old cannery lunchroom. 6 The Love Locks ✓ Heart-shaped padlocks with no keys, clipped to the rail. South side by the transformer platform; north side, west corner. ◉You at the locks. #astorialovelocks Two spots: south side by the transformer platform, and the west corner on the north side. 7 Hanthorn's Tap House ✓ The big one on the pier, pouring Oregon and Washington beer. You've walked the whole thing by now. Pint. Earned. ◉You and the pint, taps behind you. The big taphouse on the pier. 8 Four Winds Canvas ✓ Real marine canvas, sewn into bags that outlive most rigs. Find the one you'd actually carry off this pier. ◉You wearing it like you own it. On the pier — canvas shop.

That's the whole pier.

You just ate, drank, shopped and photographed your way from one end of a 148-year-old cannery to the other. Now go post them and make everybody at camp jealous.

Tag the shops — that's the whole point!

Bonus Round if you've still got daylight

Hanthorn Cannery Museum

Free, 9–6 daily. You're allowed to touch almost everything. Find the old wooden gillnet boats.

◉You and a 100-year-old boat.

Sunset Off the End

Head back out past Coffee Girl at golden hour, when the bridge goes copper.

◉The bridge from the end of the pier.

The Sea Lions

Follow your ears off the west end of the pier. They are loud, rude, and extremely photogenic.

◉One sea lion, mid-complaint.
