Day 4
Lewiston, ID to The Dalles, OR
Lots and lots and lots of wineries in the valleys in the Columbia River basin. No, we did not stop for samples, how would you choose? In the photo above I was trying to show how much of the land they use for crops. The machinery is much different, mostly so that they won’t fall off the hillsides while harvesting.
Into the Columbia River scenic areas on I-84, stopping at the Marysville Museum. On top of the hill on the Washington side of the river was originally built to be a home, but before its completion was turned into an art gallery. The owner/builder Sam Hill was the one who decided there should be roads through the Columbia Gorge. He had a lot of famous friends, including Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, Queen Marie of Romania who donated furniture, gowns, wedding presents and a crown that appear in his collection.
There is also a replica of Stonehenge that serves as a Veteran’s Memorial just down the road.

And yes, it was a clear day and you could actually SEE Mt. Hood in the distance at the front of the museum, although it was very hot and humid so it is hard to see from this photo.
