This looked vaguely like an old fortification, but it is simply the way that the layers of volcanic ash erode. Unlike the basalt cliffs of most of the Columbia, this area has soft clay-like cliffs. The current kept me busy at the helm and photos took second place.
The terrain starts to get interesting.
Here is somebody who may have misjudged the current.

Then the river started to get lively. This is not a green can buoy. It is marking an underwater obstruction.
There is the dome of the old Hanford reactor. No mushroom cloud today.
So I got there before sunrise. On this part of the Columbia, the McNary dam (25 miles downstream) basically eliminates any current. I headed upstream for the Hanford Reach.

I pulled into the launch site in Richland only to find out that a boat show was starting in the morning. There were at least 50 shiny new boats at the park. I was told to get to the launch early and there would not be a problem.
