Thursday July 5


Headed east along the Columbia River. Stopped at Wahkeena Falls which was close to the road then hiked up a 1 ½ mile steep trail to Fairy Falls, 600 ft above the road. A short distance from there was Multnomah Falls, the second tallest falls in the US, a 620 ft drop.

At the town of Hood River, in the Columbia Gorge, we stopped to watch 100’s of windsurfers on the river. It is the most popular and famous windsurfing site in the country. There were so many, you wonder how they avoided running in to each other.

Stopped at the Deschutes River SP for the night. It was hot, even with the wind howling all night long. Ran the A/C at night for the first time this trip.
