Yakima,WA to Portland, OR--Aug.9

The sky was clear and it was warming quickly. We didn't leave until about 9:30. Had a beautiful view of Mt. Adams when we left and as we drove on a beautiful, clear view of Mt. Hood at 11,240'. There was also a large windmill farm. Then we crossed the Columbia River--quite large and went up the Columbia River Gorge. There was lots of wind as we went thru the Gorge. The river had lots of white caps and waves but people were windsurfing with boards and kites. It is also a beautiful area. Passed thru The Dalles and Bonneville Dam and Multnomah Falls area and they were working on the other side of the road coming toward us
which was lucky for us because they were really backed up with traffic.

It didn't take long and we arrived at Penny and Ray's, Bob's sister and husband where we will stay for about a week. Had a nice evening with them after Bob and Ray ended up parking our coach out in front of their house on the street.
