Today was a great day

Last night we stayed in The Dalles after Mack got off work.  We all tried alligator at dinner.  It was no big deal.   Just meat.  This morning after breakfast we headed up through the Columbia River Gorge for a beautiful afternoon.  It was nice to see our new home town of Hood River Oregon.  Every time I come here I remember that this is where I want to live.  So beautiful.  Lots of wineries, green mountain cliffs, waterfalls...Amazing scenery.  We stopped at a mountain man rendezvous in Cascade Locks and went to the Cascade locks dam and watched the salmon swim up the fish ladders through the dam.  I love it up here.  Not so much in this rv park that mack is staying in.  bleh...ugly..Think Wendover, with no casinos or bluffs.
