THE OREGON TRAIL

SAT., JULY 7TH

After searching for our camera for almost an hour (and finding it already awaiting us in the car)we said our goodbyes to Hillary & Moscow and drove West through Pullman, over the hills of wheat fields on 26, and then South on 395. This led us to the Columbia River that borders Washington and Oregon. We were again back on the historic Lewis and Clark trail continuing our way West on 84 along the Columbia River. The road wound like a snake around the bends revealing massive gusts of wind and glances of wind surfers racing on the water's surface. On the other side we spotted amazing waterfalls seeping from the Mt. Hood National Forest. As the evening settled in we found ourselves a nice spot in the forest by the Clackamas River to camp for the night. The next day we would explore Portland.
