I would rate this camp as a solid 7. Nice, clean bathrooms and sites. Good parking for towed vehicles. Spaces are a bit tight but they’re fine.
The walking opportunities abound so I can keep RosieLæs mere

Really nice site for 9 days. For 3 of the days we have the PRIMO spot with its own lawn, fire pit and right on the river.

Dike Road
17. juni 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
This park, right on the Columbia, is right at “sea level”. I’ve seen signs that the river has captured a lot of the beach, with irrigation heads 4’ above the sand (where grass used to be).Læs mere
From Portland Along the Columbia (1)
17. juni 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
The trip north was pretty cool. There are multiple bridges over the Columbia River and as the river is so wide, the bridges are incredible. The most exquisite was the "Lewis & Clark" bridge. VeryLæs mere

I’ll hang around and sightsee while she’s being pampered.

Nathan came over for a “dad meal”. Fired up barbecue and had a great time. Beautiful temperature, sunset and good bourbon.
And whenever Nathan is around, around a fire pit, there’s a fire.Læs mere
Arrived Astoria, Oregon
25. juni 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
Here for a week and most importantly, Bill Timmons’ (Sue’s cousin) retirement from Coast Guard.

The Astoria Column
26. juni 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
Like a lighthouse, with no light. It’s 125’ high and located at the highest peak in Astoria. Incredible vistas.
Clatsop Spit
26. juni 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F
As far as you can go in Oregon. Can’t imagine how Lewis & Clark made it here in row boats. Cold as hell, windy and waves. Wow
Bill Timmons Retirement

Chartered local captain (27’ center console; all aluminum) with local knowledge, to introduce us to Sturgeon fishing. It’s all “catch and release” as it’s out of season.
These are very oldLæs mere

Crater Lake
3. juli 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
This "used" to be an active volcano.... apparently, 7,000 years ago, it imploded and the snow cap formed a pristine lake, 2,000 feet deep. It's in a huge National Park so it remains absolutelyLæs mere
Sisters, Or for a couple days
4. juli 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Got up bright and early to head out of Lake Diamond. Three reasons we left....
1. No internet or cell service; nothing.
2. Mosquitos... as bad as Minnesota.
3. Sue’s dad, “Daddy-O” hadLæs mere
Fruitland, Id for a one nighter
6. juli 2018, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Decided to head east for Grand Tetons, as opposed to north to Glacier Park. We’re trying “no reservations” method so pressure is off (seemingly so....)
However, as the day goes on and all parksLæs mere

We're about 1.5 hours away from Jackson (it's actually just "Jackson, WY, but called "Jackson Hole, from cowboy days). Sue and I had planned on multiple trips here but frankly, I'm glad the scheduleLæs mere
