Last 125 miles are so was through the mountains and along the Columbia river. Beautiful drive and gorgeous river. Could see ever so often Mt Hood snow covered in the background. I got here actually a day earlier than planned. The OR Bug In is not till Sunday and the cruise starts right after the show is over. Will keep you posted.
