The mighty Columbia River

This is our second crossing of the Columbia River as we rode across the Vantage Bridge and up to the Wild Horses Monument overview. If you missed seeing the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, you'll get a chance to see one here at the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, but in a more relaxed setting. Plus it has petrographs that are quite stunning.

A friend of mine tells me she and her family always sing "Roll on, Columbia" whenever they cross the Columbia River. I think that is a great tradition

For those of you who don't know it, take a listen to the late, great Woody Guthrie.
