On our vacations, we specialize in serendipitous stops. This is one of them.
Mom decided this gorge would make a gorgeous retirement home!
The Bonneville dam is the farthest downstream of fourteen dams on the Columbia River.
The Bonneville dam has both a fish ladder and fish counters. Yes, they hire people to watch for eight hours a day and count every fish that swims up the river, identifying it by type--salmon (one of five types), shad or lamprey.
We finally got to see Mount Hood--after we were long gone from Portland.
What is Oregon famous for? The Oregon Trail, of course. Here we are, posing as pioneers.
We drove for almost two hours just to see this view of Hell's Canyon. Apparently, this canyon on the Snake River is deeper than the Grand Canyon; you just can't get to that point in the canyon by car (or we would have driven there).
