Calif Coast 2007
Diary
of Linda, Meghan, and Roger's trip to California Coast, August 2007
Day 42 summer trip. I got up early walked Meghan and
made cheese omelets breakfast for Linda. We left Mayhill about 11:00
a.m. heading southwest along the Columbia River and through the
beautiful Columbia Gorge. We stopped at a small NFS campground called
Herman Creek for a rest and a hike with Meghan. The trail headed
abruptly up 800’ for a mile to the top edge of the gorge and teed in
with the Pacific Crest Trail. It was a short hike but strenuous, very
beautiful with a view of the river at the top. The north exposure of
this slope rarely saw sun, hence lots of moss and ferns. We continued
on, stopping at Troutdale to buy something at Camping World. Arrived in
Albany about 4:00 p.m. and checked into the Blue Ox RV Park. This park
had very nice facilities including good wifi, so we decided to stay here
2 nights.
