We woke up at Karen's today being Wednesday. We arrived there yesterday being Tuesday. See Tuesday for more information on that. So, I get up in the morning off the couch as I usually do and like I did in 2022 and 2019 on the same couch. For breakfast, waffles, eggs, bacon. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed the conversations. We talked about stuff. We looked at things. We went hiking. Phil did not come with us. I walked with mom part of the way. It was a hiking spot north towards Astoria from Seaside and Warrenton of Oregon. There were bridges and trees on the trail. I took photos and videos of it. We talked many things. I may mention some of it or go see the videos for more info. I liked what we talked about. We crossed a road and up a hill or mountain. Mom made it 100 to 400 feet up the hill. Probably less than 400. She then turned back. We started hiking around maybe 11:00 AM or so. It was me, Karen, Rick. We hiked like hours or less. We arrived at a crossroad, a split, a map, a sign, a fork in the road. We decided to take a right to loop back or loop around towards the parking lot where our car was. I mean her car. But then we were not on that trail. We were on a different path. We heard cars on a highway or road far off. But we probably did not want that road. So, we turned around after walking several miles or whatever it was down a particular route. We made it back to the fork. We took the other right turn instead. The first or earlier right turn. The far right was the wrong turn as we learned the hard way. The other right turn was the path forward. We made it back. We saw mom walking towards us. I might have been like who that. Dwana was at the house. But we were hiking. She went back home. I guess Phil helped with that. We were hiking to like 02:00 PM. Karen and Phil were busy after 03:00 PM. We made it back to the house but she was gone. I asked if we could stop by the other house where she is at Culby Lake. Ok but not inside. Nathan was maybe sick with the flu or something. But then Tim was like you can come in. I played Mario Kart DS with Rick and Dwana. After that, Mario 3-D World with Tim. We did that for like three hours or something. Maybe less than that. We saw the cat named Zero. I think that cat is black. Also the rabbit. Not Zelda. Good talk. I said all the cool people have ADHD. We went close to the Goonies house which is blocked off. We did not go to the Astoria Columns. After that, we were to a restaurant/arcade in Astoria around 06:00 PM. There were games there that reminded me of Sky Hawk (NES), Rival Turf (SNES). These were 2 games we owned and played at home, video games, in the 1990s. The cafe at the arcade reminded me of Back To The Future 2 and the man in the TV in that movie was like based on a show from the 1980s. Interesting games at the arcade, not as big as the one we went to for my birthday in Tacoma. The place closed 07:00 PM. We were off to highway 30 parallel with 26 to interstate highway 5. We were home before like 10:00 PM. Probably closer to 09:30 PM or so.

Around 11:00 AM or after, we went hiking at the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park at 92343 Fort Clatsop Rd, Astoria, OR 97103: +15038612471. We saw a river or a body of water of some kind. I believe it was the Lewis and Clark River. We parked maybe at the Netul Landing or not sure. We visited the logged cabins which were burned down a year or more ago. They rebuilt them. Old cabins going back to like the 1800s I think. We may have been on a trail going towards highway 101. Not sure exactly but we were at one point going too many miles in the wrong direction. I may not know right now exactly where we were. But we were on and did cross the Fort Clatsop road. We parked near portable potty bathrooms and the logged cabins. We walked on this dock bridge trail near a creek or river. We went across that Fort Clatsop Rd to a trail up a hill or mountain. Some of those trails probably goes toward 101. The fork in the road I mentioned, the map there said Fort to Sea. That was a particular trail or trails we were on.

The arcade we went to today around 06:00 PM was the The Galactix at 254 9th St (Subterranean Level), Astoria, Oregon, 97103, (831) 772-2349, Facebook, Instagram. This arcade is underneath the South Bay Wild Fish House where I ate fries and Banh Mi Ca (fish sandwich). South Bay Wild Fish House: 262 9th St, Astoria, OR 97103: +15037413000. We parked at 9th and Marine Drive near the Phog Bounders Antique Mall and Sunset Empire Transportation District. We went across the Marine Dr and walked towards restaurant and arcade. We walked by the Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza which was across the street at the corner. I enjoyed the food and the arcade. Good service. Cullaby Lake.

See the photos and videos for more information. This is just a brief outline of this day.
