We left in the AM heading for Maryhill State Park for four nights. It was about 90 when we arrived and was going to be hotter during the week. We knew this but with the Columbia River right next to our site and the wind we would be okay.

After breakfast we went to Maryhill Winery which is one of our favorites. After some tasting and purchasing we went to Hood River to have lunch at Horse Feathers, a favorite of ours. It was closed for remodeling so we went to Full Sail Brewery for lunch, but not before stopping at Naked Winery to taste and see if it is a gimmick winery. Nope, they have nice wines so we bought a bottle.Then it was back to the park to sit by the river because it was very hot, mid 90's. We collected some rocks, even an agate, to take home. Virtually all the rocks are round and flat in that area. After dinner we sat out trying to enjoy the cooling night weather.

There was a skate boarding event called the Maryhill Festival of Speed gearing up while we were there. It is on a road that is down hill for 2 miles with 22 curves. After lunch we went to the course to watch some of the practicing. Those people are insane. Their protective gear was worn, torn, and beat up. The event was over the weekend which was forecasted to be over 105 degrees. We went back to the park after watching a bit and decided to cut this visit a day short and go home a day early.

We were up and on the road bright and early to beat the heat. We got home before 1 to more reasonable heat and our home.
