jayAfter talking and soaking in a hot tub late last night... and patgreene discovering that Olympic dressage was showing on cable from 2-4am... we got up late and didn't leave Seattle until noon. Since we also stopped and spent three-plus hours in the Columbia Gorge, we didn't get to our motel here on the California coast until nearly 1am.
The boys were fascinated by the Bonneville Dam, where we picnicked... in particular, the fish ladder, which has windows from the visitor center such that one can view wild fish swimming by randomly, aquarium-style. Pat and I enjoyed the scenery :).
Then, a long haul down to Crescent City... tomorrow, down 101 through redwoods and Cloverdale and J, and her kids (more shatter cones to drop off ;) and then hopefully home by evening.
Pat and Lisa, just before she went off to her gallery and we departed southward... it was a good visit there, I think in several ways :).
At Bonneville Dam, a view of a wild salmon passing through the fish ladder. This really excited the kids...
In the gorge, I experimented with waterfalls and perspectives, using my tiny digital Casio camera... here's one that apparently enlarges James next to Horsetail Falls:
Or Multnomah Falls refreshes David with a cool drink ;-)
And rather than take all of the photos, I persuaded James to take a picture of Pat and myself near the 1916 Vista House, overlooking the gorge...
