Spur of the Moment Road Trip

About 15 yrs ago, Big J and I went to a concert at the Gorge. I remembered crossing a bridge over the Columbia River and the power the water had below. It was both frightening and exhilarating to be over the vast, dark waters. I wanted to relive that same memory and see the statue horses.

At every turn on I-90, I kept saying to get ready to see the awesome view. The earth wasn't the brilliant orange we remembered and the water level seemed to have gone down. The water was calm. The landscape has definitely changed! But the air was warm, even its breeze.


I don't recall the steep hike up to the horses...Big J and little J took on the challenge. Don't worry little J was not harmed performing their trick photography.


Where's P? He was camera shy. Road trips are not his favorite past time. If he had his way, he'd still be on the sofa enjoying Saturday morning cartoons.
