Barge Traffic in the Columbia Gorge

We traveled happily along the Columbia Gorge for about fifty miles. We headed on down I84 along the south side of the Columbia River through The Dalles. We were interested in the barge traffic on the river, the trains on the Washington side and the beautiful bridges.

Pulling away from the river and heading toward Pendleton we went through flat and rather dry land with lots of irrigation and hay growing. August 19, 1982.

Combines in the huge wheat fields along Hwy 12 in the southeast corner of Washington state. August 19, 1982.

Lochsa River, Idaho

We followed a river most of the way through Idaho, mostly behind some slow-moving RV. The Lochsa River was so inviting in the heat that we gave Jeff and Mark the opportunity to play around at this point in Idaho. August 19, 1982.
