7-22 Day 12 Astoria Oregon to Madras Oregon

7-22 Day 12 Astoria Oregon to Madras Oregon


View Larger Map


The hotel we stayed at in Astoria had the ugliest bathroom known to mankind...

This was as we road along the Columbia River

We took route 503 in Washington in order to avoid going thru Portland, it was a beautiful ride.






Once we went back across the Columbia, we came into open farmlands on the way towards Mount Hood


This was our first view of Mount Hood in the distance



Dad being a ham for the camera


This is from the parking lot at the ski resort at the bottom of Mt Hood. Somehow Mt Hood was disapointing, when compared with Mt St Helens and Mt Rainier it seemed like it was tamed or conquered...







We passed this as we road down the highway, both my dad and I flipped a u-turn without even saying anything to each other in order to get back to take a picture of this sign.

The area started to turn into a strangely barren land







Welcome to the Oregon desert...
