Geocaching and The Anzac Tea Parlour, The Dalles, OR
I went geocaching with my eldest daughter, Kimberly (kimmykat), so she could get The Dalles-Dash Geocoin. Afterwards we drove just north of Dufur to find a cache and then east on fifteen mile road to find a cache and a Virtual.
We enjoyed Australian afternoon tea at The Anzac Tea Parlour in a historic house in The Dalles. The Wollongong Two-Course Tea included delicious Chicken Almond Tea Sandwiches, Cucumber Tea Sandwiches, Olive Rolls, Sun-dried Tomato Quiches, Chocolate-dipped Strawberries, Petite ANZAC Biscuits and red grapes with a large, shared pot of Earl Grey tea with Bergamot. We also had a second course of Bev's freshly-baked Scones with Devonshire Cream and two kinds of Jam. We saved our Chocolate-dipped Strawberries and Petite ANZAC Biscuits for late afternoon snack.
Afterwards we found the remains of two NGS benchmarks at a viewpoint a couple miles east of Mosier, drank hot chocolate and ate our Chocolate-dipped Strawberries and Petite ANZAC Biscuits in front of the fireplace at Skamania Lodge and then drove back to Vancouver via I-84 in the pouring rain.
