My life is complete. I finally got to visit Dismal Niche!
On north bank of the Columbia River in the extreme southwest corner of Washington State sits Dismal Niche. This is the last site Lewis and Clark occupied before reaching the Pacific Ocean. On November 10th, 1805, the Lewis & Clark Expedition were approaching Point Ellice as the weather worsened and they were forced to retreat to a sheltered cove approximately 600 feet northeast of the eastern end of the Rest Area. On the 11th and 12th rain continued along with periods of thunder, lightning and hail. On the 12th, Clark described their move from the unnamed cove to the Dismal Nitch: "As our situation became Seriously dangerous, we took the advantage of a low tide & moved our Camp around a point a Short distance to a Small wet bottom at the mouth of a Small Creek (Megler Creek) …" The rain continued on the 13th and 14th. On the morning of November 15, Clark awoke to calm weather for the first time in 10 days and described the party's escape from what became known as the Dismal Nitch: 🙂

@shallow-blue saidI know the difference but I can't figure out what one mchill is trying to use 🤔
Nitch and Niche are not the same thing. Sorry, colonials.
@shallow-blue saidIt's just a misspelling. Blame Captain William Clark.

Did someone mention a stick up the ass?
