Today we made in across WA and OR to Sandy, kind of a base town near Mt. Hood.
It was a very neat drive - it was pretty much thru gorges along various rivers. The sides of the gorges were primarily rock and a light golden moss/grass. When we reached the Columbia River gorge, one side began to change to more and more trees until they were all trees and everything was green.
We also stopped along the gorge for several waterfalls and an overlook for pictures, of course. I didn't take very many today until we reached Multnomah Falls.
Although I did like the farming areas of WA and OR, and it seems that everyone in those areas have horses, I was nice to see green trees over 5 feet.
We did try to get good pictures of Mt. Hood today but it started to rain and the mountain was covered in fog. We did see Mt. Hood on the airplane into Portland and this was our first real rain. Hopefully we will get the pics tomorrow before we leave for Florence - sea lions and dune buggy rides, maybe.
