I didn’t cover many miles, but I did stay right on the river all day and saw some amazing sights. A few mountain streams and a departing view of Mt. Hood, which I think is one of my favorite places so far. Daily data: Beginning odometer at Best Western on Mt. Hood was 30,700 miles. Ending odometer at Days Inn in Gresham, Oregon is 30,805 miles. Bought fuel at Mt. Hood. Bought 9.687 galloons @ $4.129 for a total of 40.00. This was not a fill-up because of the price per gallon. I just wanted enough to be sure I could get down the mountain. Meals for the day was $29.00. Lodging for tonight is $65.57 + April 25, 2013 [alpine-phototile-for-picasa-and-google-plus src=”user_album” uid=”117292386093793315084″ ualb=”5870937786967077329″ imgl=”fancybox” dltext=”Picasa” style=”floor” row=”4″ num=”150″ size=”220″ border=”1″ highlight=”1″ align=”center”...
Water level control, power production, transportation support and fish management; at the highest level. Very impressive operations. Although Lewis and Clark didn’t have to deal with them, the river is more navigable and the salmon are thriving.

Surprisingly beautiful waterfalls Reminds me of some I saw in Hawaii. The walls of the gorge are steep and rocky with very thick greenery so it should not be a surprise that springs and snow melt would produce some pretty grand waterfalls.
