The Dam access road!

Since it appears that we are starting this blog entry with signs, here is another one.

 

It may look unfriendly to some of us ‘roadsters’, but it is actually just a sign on a McDonald’s drive-through.

This way?  Or that way? (Isn’t that two ways?)

And, Hailey just informed me that she did not get a mention in the last blog post … so,

After all that, where did we go?  It was decided to leave the Oregon coast at Seaside, and cruise down Highway 26 through Portland, before crossing the Columbia river into Washington state.  The Portland area provided the first of many tunnels, and we managed to avoid most of the traffic congestion – until we headed north on I-205 across the river.

I guess someone was looking at the scenery or taking photos of the river as it resulted in a fairly serious rear-end collison just on the Washington side of the line.

Rest assured, that I only take photos and look at the scenery when Hailey is driving.  You can see her reaching for the brake pedal here.

Something tells me that this is not the jeep from the Bayfield Bunch before Al washed it!  Anyone got a spell checker for spelling durt?

Once we were clear of the wreck on the bridge, we followed #14 east along the north bank of the Columbia river.  And there were more tunnels – lots of ‘em!

If you were paying attention to the first dam sign photos, you might now be guessing that we stopped for the night near the Bonneville dam and locks.  You would be correct.

Well, this blog posting is long enough!
