On Friday Judi and I went to the Columbia River Gorge. We went to Hood River which is a little town on the Gorge known for windsurfing. Then we went to the historical Gorge Hwy where we came across some cool geographical features. Enjoy.

The Gorge was or is part of the historical Oregon Trail. according to books, it was the most treacherous part of the trail. The wagons were set on rafts and then navigate the river toward Oregon City, the river currents claimed a lot of property and lives.
