Columbia River George, OR
After a late night haul up the 101 from Redwood National Forrest, we found our RV park less than five miles from downtown Portland. Even with all the cities we've been through, Portland's culture seems to speak as loudly as any San Franciso corner. We started the day with an early lunch at a local brewery and walked the streets until dusk. Every pub, store, and coffee shop was as unique as views of the huge iron bridges linking both side of the city. After dark we found our way to the Crystal Ballroom, one of the Northwest's most celebrated music venues, to see the band MGMT.
Up bright and early, spirits high from the excitement of yesterday, we got another pleasant change when we rented a U-Haul trailer and are now traveling on a MUCH less crowded bus. A little bittersweet, we all seemed to realize in unison that we are now over the peak of this journey. Every mile we travel now takes us back closer to the Magnolia State. For now that path takes us through the Columbia River George, some of the most beautiful scenery we've come across, even if the sky is grey.
