It is always so good to see the members of both the Washington Club and the Oregon club. It is almost like a reunion when we do get together.
Because of all of the good bying we were later than usual getting away. It was a warm day and our goal was to make it to Mary Hill by night fall.
We passed through a lot of dry barren country but soon we were traveling long the Columbia River. There are high hills and impressive rock formations on either side and because the top soil is so thin there is little or no irrigation and farming. We are on the Washington side and we can see Oregon on the other side.
Soon we cross over the river and arrive at Mary Hill
It is our plan to stay at the Mary Hill State park and when we arrive we are given a choice of 2 sites, either 15 or 24.
We drive around and after a try we decide that 24 is too tight and 15 is the better choice. So we back in and Ken goes over to the self registration stall to pay. He is there when another motor home comes in. He stops and the men chat. We discover that they have been given and have paid for site number 15. Because they have paid and we have not we leave .
We go to Peach Beach campground which is right next door.
The site is a pull through , which is better and the price is better and the sunset is amazing.
During a brief evening storm, a tree comes down, making a bit of a mess. Fortunately it is not near any parked rigs and no one is hurt.
But we do go and take pictures of the downed tree.
