The Trip has started

We started off our Alaskan journey driving through some showery areas on the all-too-familiar I-5 North; no photos necessary for that part--though the spring green hillsides were lovely!  We stopped and met for lunch in Eugene with my daughter Bonnie--a great first on our trip.

KOA at Cascade Locks, OR
  We arrived at our first night destination in cool weather.
 The next day started with the same weather. After a while it cleared up.

A nice stop here provides a wealth of information.  Located just outside The Dalles, Or

lovely water feature at the entrance

prehistoric times & huge mammoth

What's this?  Our first exposure to a predator
And then to another one.  Very real looking
That is close enough

Cat on the Prowl


Rafting our wagon across the Columbia River!! ;-)
The way the Pioneers did?  I don't think so...
