Busy Day in the Columbia Gorge

We woke early and because it was bright and clear we got up quickly and drove along to Hood River, to return to Panorama Point to be rewarded with a great view of Mount Hood, without a cloud in sight.

We were so chuffed that we treated ourselves to to breakfast out. On inquiring from the locals we decided to patronize the Egg River Cafe (formally known as Egg Harbor Cafe). we had a huge breakfast. This is the only restaurant where the waitress has negotiated us into buying a smaller breakfast! On the grounds that one breakfast and a side would be quite enough, and it was. Great breakfast. Sally tried an omelette, to see the effect of eating eggs, I tried the apple pancakes and they were delicious.

Returning to the trailer we quickly packed up and rolled on to our next campground - Ainsworth State Park, a mere 40 miles down the I84. We arrived there and were set up by 11.04, I think this must be some sort of a record. We spent the rest of the day relaxing in the glorious sunshine.

I went for a run in the afternoon and this evening Sally and I ventured out the 1.2 miles to the Horsetail Falls, which were very beautiful.




This afternoon we received a call from Roy and Anne to say that their Dodge Pick up was again giving them problems and they were now camped at Memaloose S.P. Where we had left that morning.
