South to Seaside When you reach the end of the road at Highway 101 in Astoria, you go right and head east into downtown. But our tour turns left onto 101, where we'll head south to Seaside. A few miles south of Seaside is the junction where highways 101 and 26 meet. We'll head east on 26, which is also known as the Sunset Highway. East on Highway 26 About 18 miles east of the junction is Camp 18, a combination logging museum and restaurant.

At the time it was cut down, it's estimated it weighed 25 tons green and contains 5,600 board feet of lumber.

Logger-sized meals are also available on the menu, and few people have left the camp hungry. Sunset Highway continues southeast past Elsie into Washington County. We want to return to Columbia County, and we have two choices to turn off.
