Day 11 - Columbia River Gorge and the elusive Mt Hood

Today has been about waterfalls [6], 



gorgeous views of the Columbia River Gorge and the Washington State hills on the far bank [innumerable], any view, however small, of Mt Hood [zero - dreadful cloud cover so not even a glimpse despite our best efforts] and fruit [also lots; the "Fruit Loop" drive covers 30-odd miles of orchards and farms with outlets offering seasonal fruit and veg - we bought pears but look at those magnificent squashes!]


We've dodged the rain between Portland and a small place called The Dalles on the banks of the mighty Columbia; tonight is our last night in Oregon for a while as we'll cross the river tomorrow for Washington State and Mount St Helens National Park (possibly cue no more internet for a day or two - we'll see).
