Columbia River Gorge & La Page Park....

9/14/2015

 
(  Writing this on Tuesday, September 15 from the La Page Campground near Rufus, Oregon.  This camp is an Army Corp of Engineers Campground located four miles east of the John Day Dam on the confluence of the John Day and Columbia Rivers.  It has full hook-ups for a daily fee of $22.00/ $11.00 w/Golden Age Pass. )

Passing through beautiful farm land yesterday, it was only about a 200 miles drive from Wallowa to La Page Park near Rufus.

Approaching the exit for the park we could barely see Mt. Hood in the distance.

After our private camping spot at Ollokot, it seemed strange to be so close to other campers again.
Picture
As you can see it gets a little windy along the river.
Picture
We had a great sunset, something we missed being in the forest all summer.
Picture
Today we left camp for a drive west on US-30 along the Columbia River Gorge.

From the scenic overlook you could see all the salmon fishing boats.

This is the Bonniville Dam and Locks. We toured the Bradford Island Visitor Center located here, as well as, the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center in Stevenson, Washington. We will save those pictures for the next blog.
We miss Carla and the Imnaha, but it's also fun to be on the road again to new adventures.   Living the dream!

Good night to all, love B&D.
P.S.   Thank you Diane for all your art.  I have been enjoying these two pieces for almost fifty years.  Wow!

Hi Barb,
We missed you at the book sale. We did great $3,106.45!!! Not bad for far less books than usual. Liam and Xavier came with their mom to shop. They were very good and very big:)
Miss you, Jean
