Once again I forgot to post an entry so here is more from White Salmon. We drove about 170 miles to Bridge RV Park in White Salmon. This is a real nice, clean park. Our site is right by the Columbia River on the Gorge. Oh yeah, there is a set of railroad tracks between the park and river. Quite a few trains go through with freight, coal or the Amtrak train. Not too disrupting. We drove here on Hwy 14 along the Washington side of the river. This is very scenic traveling along the Lewis and Clark Trail. This would be a cool trip to take and make stops to view the sites and hike the trails. White Salmon is a quaint town with and interesting history. The town of Bingen is next to White Salmon. In their day these towns were very busy with shipping wood products and manufacturing. I read that now there is quite a population of techies who work in a local business. The weather is not too great. Cloudy with some wind.
We drove down river a few miles and watched the wind surfers and para-surfers. These people really cruise across the water and jump probably 10' off the waves.
We enjoyed our fireplace through the evening. Early to bed for a day exploring waterfalls on the Oregon side of the river tomorrow.
