Technically, they are calling themselves an ‘RV Park’, but we are actually staying at a Harvest Host - we are their first customers! The town (incorporated!) of Antelope has 37 people and one of the families purchased the old Market and adjoining property.

We’ll have to Google that when we have better internet. But, we also came upon the might Columbia River today in all her glory. She is huge! And, let me tell you, she attracts a mighty wind!! There are thousands of wind turbines in this area because of it. And, our ‘crosswind assist’ came on multiple times - Nan can attest to it because I think she screamed each time!?!? Another oddity that we came across today was Stonehenge of the West. It is actually a war memorial for the fallen of WWI. Interestingly perched over the Columbia River with a view of Mt. Hood?…
