With the weather predicted to be a perfect spring day we decided to take a trip up the Columbia Gorge to see wild flowers with
Roy and Suzanne. Traveling the Gorge near Portland we enjoyed seeing the forests and waterfalls but the further east we traveled the dryer the terrain became. We enjoyed traveling on the old highway rather than the freeway when possible. Near The Dalles we walked a trail to the top of a ridge to see the wild flowers and scenery up close. Then we c
rossed the Columbia River to explore the Washington side of the Gorge. As we ran out of daylight and were getting hungry we went to Cousins restaurant in The Dalles which is well known for country food and a collection of farm equipment. It is the only restaurant we have been to with an antique John Deer tractor in the dining area.
