I have thought about this for awhile and would like to know if there are any C-Brats that would like to attend a gathering in The Dalles Oregon/Dallesport Washington on the Columbia River.
The Dalles is about 69 miles East of Portland or 79 miles by I-84 on the Mighty Columbia River.
From The Dalles you can go up river 25 miles to the John Day Dam. On the way there is the Railroad town of Wishram that time and most roads have pass by on the banks of the Columbia. Farther up river there are the Maryhill Museum/state park and full size replica of Stonehenge, all within walking distance of the boat launch. As you continue up river you can turn and go many miles up the Deschutes River with breath taking scenery.
Down river about 45 miles to the Cascade Locks you will pass by the towns of Lyle, Hood River, Bingen/White Salmon, Stevenson and Cascade Locks all with their unique restaurants and shops.
For those that would be interested, I would take you on a private tour of the wild animal ranch just south of The Dalles. For more information on this farm go to my site then The Farms and click on the Dalles Mountain Ranch. You will even see a picture of me in there feeding the giraffes.
If this sounds like something some of you would like to do sometime this year or next year, let me know.
