It's been a while, but I'm finally getting back to this. Stay tuned for a run-down of our week-long adventure down the Hell's Canyon section of the Snake River--maybe I'll get that up by Christmas!
The last day of the road trip--I was stoked to get home, but not ready to be done (although Tucker was!). I packed up camp efficiently but not rushing while keeping an eye on the dysfunctional dynamics from the family camped across from me.
The drive through Fossil and Condon was warm, dry, rolling hills occasionally interrupted by wind farms. T and I stopped to enjoy the view from a summit before descending down to Biggs and I-84--the first freeway sighting since leaving home a week earlier. Tucker reluctantly got out for a potty break, but hopped right back in the car. He was clearly in "get me the f*** home" mode. I think he was tired of camping.
We officially left eastern Oregon when we hit The Dalles and re-entered the Columbia River Gorge. The Gorge scenery was green and stunning; I saw it as if through new eyes and appreciated as I haven't for a long time.
The closer we got to Portland, the thicker the overcast. It seems as though Portland always says "welcome home" with a rain shower and this was no exception.
