Columbia River Gorge from the Washington side |
For the week leading up to Labor Day weekend we headed north in the camper, bound for Lake Wenatchee, Washington and a wedding. With several free days and no itinerary, we explored some places we hadn't been in years. Washington is great. The weather had changed so we spent a fair amount of the trip east of the crest, on the dry side. Still, even with clouds and some rain Mt Rainier is simply awesome. Amazing stuff up there - glad to be living in the Pacific Northwest!!
