Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area

Columbia River Gorge

Lower Latourell Falls

We've had a great stay here in the Portland, Oregon area.  We got in a nice dinner with Donna's cousin Steven and his wife Karen.  Broke the bank on a new set of rear tires for the truck.  Got some shopping in.  And on our only truly sunny day, we (and everyone else in Oregon and Washington state) drove US 30 through the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area until it just got too crowded.  I got to see three falls.  Donna saw four.  I think there's at least five along the road on the south side of the river that we drove along.

We stopped for lunch. Then drove down and around Mt Hood.  By then the weather was coming back in, and we drove back to the trailer.  Great scenery, though.  Will have to do it again.

But this ends our stops in Oregon.  Tomorrow - if everything works - we move a little further north to Castle Rock, WA to set out the July 4th holiday.  We hope to get some time in at Mt. St. Helen.  I remember it blowing up and have watched many of the documentaries on it.  Hopefully, we get to see it.

At least that's the plan.  Until it changes.  Later, David
