LePage Park - Wasco, OR

Each day of driving seems to bring its own beauty and wonder. Today, for much of our drive, we were treated with three snow-capped mountain peaks (and sometimes four). We’re not exactly sure which mountains they were. We are thinking Mt. Hood, and Mt. Rainier pretty definitely, but we’re not sure what the third and fourth might be. 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?…

  2. I was encouraged to check out Hood River as a retirement spot. While it is beautiful, the wind tunnel that you describe was a negative for us. That area is known for kite surfing--we will look for some pictures of you trying that on your trip.
