In this amazing world of Nehalem Point some of our neighbors are having more fun than you can imagine. In the photos you'll see these resurrected railroad utility vehicles which used carry inspection crews up the tracks. Speeder cars are gasoline powered, and they carry radios. The group plans excursions when the tracks are clear. A trip up the Salmonberry river is memorable.
Members are also sheriff's deputies, available for search and rescue missions.
A retired river captain and his wife are the crew members of this jazzy little steamboat that putts up and down the Nehalem River and around Nehalem Bay. The boat is harbored in Wheeler, where every now and again, a whole fleet of similar vessels gathers to celebrate with bright boilers, shiny brass pipes and dashing colors. Next year, to celebrate Nehalem's 100th birthday, these brave little steamboats will be towed from all over the Northwest and congregate in Wheeler and Nehalem. If you live at Nehalem Point you'll have a front row seat. Or you can plan to join the river parade in your family flotilla.
