Brief Foray into Washington

Jill's Journal: We didn’t intend to go to Washington on this particular trip north, but that just happens to be where our latest campground is located for the next few days. We’d hoped to be somewhere between Hood River and The Dalles in Oregon, which is about a 20-mile stretch on the Columbia River, but campground pickings were slim. So, we bit the bullet and crossed a ridiculously-narrow-and-not-fit-for-large-vehicles bridge into Washington. Our campground in Washington's tiny town of White Salmon is just across the river from the bustling town of Hood River in Oregon. We poked around White Salmon a little bit today, but it’s a very quiet place. The most interesting things we found were cute crosswalks of…white salmon.

White Salmon does have some lovely views of Mt. Hood in the distance. Washington is the brown foreground of this picture and Oregon is the green background. From the little bit we've seen so far, we’re thinking Oregon got the better end of the deal when the stateline was decided. :)
