We have wifi!

We are finally at a campground with wifi so here come the updates.

DAY 3
We picked up a lovely bike trail on the north side of Portland,right by the river, and headed out. We passed the airport about the time Marge's husband's flight was landing so we waved.We rode by a community of houses IN the river--not exactly houseboats, but floating houses.
Eventually we got onto the historic scenic highway 30--lots of winding roads and hills, beautiful trees and waterfalls, views of the Washington and Oregon bluffs and the Columbia River.














Toward the end of the day we were getting hot and tired. We stopped to rest in a shady area and discovered we were right next to a massive wild blackberry patch. They were delicious! Had some poor directions and ended up calling the park ranger to tell us how to get to the campground. We had to travel 5 miles on the interstate which was a bit harrowing,but we made it safely. Steve had been busy reserving our campsites and keeping the cooler stocked with food. He also takes in some of the historic points of interest, particularly if they involve railroads.
