Columbia River Valley

The final leg of the first long stretch dawned overcast and drizzly, and we set out early morning, leaving Pasco and the Tri-Cities behind us and heading for Portland, and past that to the coast and Lincoln city.
The road runs down the Columbia River valley, so wide that it took us a while to realise it was a river and not a lake next to us!




 The scenery gradually changed and became really beautiful, even in the pouring rain. Portland is a big city on the river, and we quite forgave Tom-Tom for its previous misdemeanors - we would NEVER have found our way without the insistent voice telling us which roads to take!!
