A relaxing trip

Post by myfirstbonnie »

We took the 2k out for a drive today and put 200 miles on it. We followed I-84 east out of Portland to The Dalles, Or. This highway follows the Columbia river for a lot of miles. On the way back we drove several miles down the Columbia Historic Hwy which is the old U.S. Rt 30. We also stopped to see the sites from the Vista House which is on a cliff and was built as a rest stop for travelers.

On to the pictures:
