Portland and Mt. Hood
We got up this morning and headed into Portland. We explored the city a little bit and hung out for awhile in downtown Portland at Pioneer Courthouse Square. It's a nice little open area in the heart of downtown that has... you guess it, free wireless. Portland is a really nice town.

After our stop in Portland, we headed east so that we could circle around Mt. Hood. At mile 2567 we stopped near the base of the mountain for a refreshing drink from the ice cold White River.

Then we headed straight for the Washinton border. We crossed the Columbia River, which is the border between the two states, and drove west along it for a few miles. The Columbia River Gorge is a very popular recreation area especially for windsurfers. We took a break at the river's edge to watch them for awhile:

After our quick break, we turned north up route 30. We stopped for the night at mile 2662 at the Swift Reservoir and camped out.
