Pictures of the petroglyphs.
Some pictures from the town of Hood River on the evening of July 4th.
Left Columbia Hills yesterday and drove on the Interstate, through Portland. We then left the Interstate and turned southwest, heading to the Pacific Ocean. Made it to Rockaway Beach and our campground, Barview Jetty City Campground. This has to have the most people I have ever seen in a campground – about 1/2 tent camping. The temp. was in the high 80’s when we left – it was in the low 60’s mid-afternoon when we arrived. We aren’t right on the beach, but within walking distance. There is a long jetty with an electronic foghorn that blows about every 30 seconds. People were building bonfires on the beach and collecting driftwood for their campsites. We had to drive to Garibaldi to get diesel, then drove on to Tillamook, looking for a place to eat. There is the big Tillamook cheese factory there and there were lots of people going in and out. It is strange to see the ocean on one side of the road and mountains on the other. We picked up a local newspaper with the headline of a cougar spotted in one of the State Parks near us. We have many beach towns and beaches to explore over the next few days. This is my kind of weather for beach walking – cool!
Our first views of the Pacific Ocean!
