Fabulous day on the Columbia River Highway

S

We are in Portland, OR for a few days before our cruise visiting Jim and Betty Krejci, Purdue friends. We ate breakfast at the " Original Pancake House", came home and packed our lunch and headed out east to the Columbia River Highway. This highway is 100 years old this year so must have been created the same time as our national parks. 

 
The Vista House is 100 years old and was built so visitors along the Columbia River Highway had a place to view the river as well as make a rest stop.  Today, 100 years later, it is still just as beautiful and the views are gorgeous.  I never forget a vision I have of what Lewis and Clark much have thought as they came down this river toward the Pacific over 200 years ago!!!
