It was a very windy day, 25-35MPH so we went to The Dalles, OR to cruise the town.We found an old fashioned J C Penney store in downtown where we found some clothes we didn't know we needed so we bought them. Then to the Clock Tower Ale House where we had a beer and got directions to a pizza house for lunch. If you are ever in The Dalles go to Spooky's Sandwich and Pizza place. It is the best! We had some there and for two more meals as well.
Then we crossed the river and went to Maryhill Winery. What a nice place and our hostess was very knowledgeable. We tasted 4 or 5 wines, a real good port and bought some of their products. Then to a local winery, Waving Tree to sample their Sangiovese. It was pretty good so we bought one.
Then back to the park and the wind. The river looked more like the ocean with breakers and rolling waves. Later in the evening a paddle wheel cruise ship came by going up river with the wind at its back. In the photo you can see that the flags are blowing in the direction they are traveling.
The next morning we drove home through Yakima with sunshine until we got to Snoqualmie Pass. We go out again on July 8 for most of the month.
