Columbia Gorge

On Monday, Karen and I travelled to The Dalles.  We shopped at the Klindt Bookstore, the oldest in Oregon.  We purchased three books on regional history.  Then, we visited the Columbia Hills State Park and viewed the petroglyphs saved when the Dalles Dam was built.  The lava formations near Horsethief Butte in this area are impressive.  The view from the Stonehenge Monument was spectacular, as was the drive on Washington 14 from Maryhill to White Salmon.  Many wildflowers were in their spring bloom: yellow mustard greens, orange poppies, purple lupine, and dozens of others.
