Columbia River Gorge

Joanie and I came west to meet Mr. Yuck & Joanne for a 3-day weekend in Oregon. They picked us up at the airport and we went north into Washington and had breakfast in Camas, WA.




Before getting back on the main road we stopped to pick blackberries. When you are traveling with backpackers they have all the necessary gear to carry home what you pick.

From there we followed the gorge on the Washington side

and stopped at the Bonneville Dam.


We than crossed over the Columbia River at White Salmon into Hood River. From there we went to the Full Sail Brewery and had the sample tasting. We picked out a six pack to take with us and bought a picnic lunch.

From there we headed down the highway to Multnomah Falls.

My favorite part of being in the gorge are the fabulous views of Mount Hood.
