Day 7 - in the Shadow of Mt Hood

Left the coast around 9:45 for the drive inland to Mt Hood.

Made it through Portland with no troubles and soon found ourselves on I84 heading east towards Hood River. We soon were traveling along the Columbia River:

We did end up going through a tunnel on I84 which kind of  freaked out the Boys a little:

We came to the exit for Hood River and headed south to our campground. Not too far along, we came to see this:

We found the turn for the camp, registered and headed to our site. Julz was a little concerned as it was a very tight back-in site and the lane was very narrow to make the turns. After we had the neighbor across from us move his truck, we finally got the Toad backed in to her spot. We have to give props to a couple friendly neighbors for giving Julz some guidance on getting into the spot. 

The campground is quite beautiful and quiet with lots of tall pines and we can even hear the Hood River from our site.

We'll post some pics of the site later on.

Our next posts may be kind of brief as we are posting from the iPhone right now-we find it to be too much hassle to carry around the laptop all the time.

I will post more from Day 8 soon-we headed to Mt Adams in Washington.
