Drove into Portland, went shopping at GI Joe’s sports store. Ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Went looking for a good spot to park along the Columbia River between Portland and Vancouver WA. At 3 PM we found a spot on a nice overlook where parking was allowed, set up a picnic spot for the afternoon. In a hour all the parking spots were full. People kept coming till dark, parking on the side of the road were there was no space. Cops came by ticketing, cars were still blocking the road. The fireworks started at 10:10 and lasted a ½ hour. It was a great view, besides the main fireworks display, they were going off all up and down the river for as far as you could see. We finally were able to leave at 11:30, drove 15 miles along the river and spent the night at another Wal-Mart again.
