Hood River, Oregon

I made it into Hood River, Oregon about 1:30 PST today.

The alarm on a car outside my hotel room window last night went off about every 20 minutes it seemed. Finally about 4 I decided it was’t going to stop so I might as well hit the road.

Idaho was beautiful and the mid-June snowstorm I encountered in Lookout Pass between Montana and Idaho was certainly unexpected.

The tip of Northern Idaho went fast but Washington was painful. Most of what I drove through was desert-like and knowing I was so close…but still hours away made it all the more painful.

I finally crossed over into Oregon about noon with a few more hours left to go. Battling the winds shooting down the Columbia River Gorge with four bikes on the car (acting as a big sail) seemed to make me go backwards.

Ah…finally sweet relief and a place to crash…Hood River.

Check out the Flickr pictures from the trip.
