On the Road!!!
Day one is in the books.
On the road by 1030. Good trip into Longview though it was quite the surprise to see thousands of bike riders headed our way as a part of the "Seattle to Portland" bike ride. PDX was a little slow getting onto 84 but we were in for another surprise when we planned to stop at Multnomah Falls for lunch. The parking lot was closed!!! Here is our view of the falls as we sped by at 54 MPH.
We pulled into Starvation Creek Trailhead rest area. Luckily although it was labeled "no trucks" there was a bit of a wide spot to pull out. Quick stop for potty and lunch.
On the road for a few more hours with a couple stops for gas and the like. Then on to Walla Walla for a lovely night with family friends!
Totals for the day:
Miles - 330
Animals - 3 Big Horn Sheep
High Temperature - 104
