I just returned from a vacation in the northern part of Oregon. The Columbia River Gorge and surrounding area are beautiful. Historic Highway 30 provides spectacular views of waterfalls and scenic overlooks. Make sure you take the drive if you are ever in Portland or the southern part of Washington. From the Columbia River Gorge we went west to the Pacific Ocean and made our way down the coast. It was quite a change from the desert of the southwest where I live. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I stay here, but there are some advantages to this part of the country. We don't have any natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes. Also when other parts of the country are dealing with heavy rain or snow, I am running around in shorts and flip-flops and relaxing in the pool. By the way, my new picture was taken in Seaside, OR. (The end of the Oregon Trail, Lewis and Clark's adventure)
Until next time, take care! Marc
