Tuesday, August 22, 2017 Moving back to the Mountains

Today we move back to the mountain. We are taking a different scenic route - traveling 101 then joining WA 4 headed east, then north on I-5, then east on WA-12 again. We saw these dairy cows at Rosburg, WA. Then we crossed Gray's River.

Some more beautiful pictures of tree-covered mountains.

The sky was a little overcast so some of the pictures are not great. They call it the marine layer (we call it mist, fog). We passed a lovely State Park - Skamokawa --where I would love to stay on another visit- it looked so peaceful.

We passed some other nice rivers then we were right on the north bank of the Columbia River. A mighty river - big and wide!

We stopped at Walmart and got some supplies at Longview. I got a new Fitbit for my upcoming birthday, mine seemed to poop out. Then we joined I-5 for about 30 miles 0 in a traffic jam moving about 21-28 mph or at a total standstill. We went faster on the two lane roads.

This is the view at the entrance to Thousand Trails paradise - quite a beauty.

This place is dusty - but we got a site where we have Dish TV and a cell phone signal - so that is great!
