For the curious, there is a time-lapse map of how the mouth of the Columbia River has changed over time. To reach this, you need to go to http://www.mapbureau.com Click on Time Maps near top left of center. Click on Shipwrecks at Mouth of Columbia. Let load. Start the time sequence and watch Sand Island transmorph over time. Sand Island begins as a smallish blob slightly left of center, morphs north and then splits into two. The dark lines are the two main jetties. At the lower right hand corner of the Time Map is a hot link to the pertinent chart, shwing the current configuration of the mouth of the river. A map geek's delight ... courtesy of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, over the hill from my house. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
