My daughter, Catherine, and I drove to The Dalles so she could do The Dalles-Dash Geocoin Challenge. We stopped in Hood River at McDonalds for breakfast where my Subaru Forester, a Travel Bug with the license place TVL BUG, was discovered.
Catherine found The Dalles-Dash caches rather quickly using her Garmin Etrex Venture GPSr. She slipped on the muddy trail at one of the cache locations and got her sleeve and the seat of her jeans muddy and injured her shoulder. It was unfortunate as she was supposed to play First Violin with an orchestra on Monday and Tuesday evenings and had to cancel.
We had time to visit Maryhill Museum to photograph and get the coordinates for a Glacial Erratic at the far end of the museum parking lot. We arrived back at Anzac Tea Room in The Dalles in time for a lovely afternoon tea.
Afterwards we traveled west on the Old Columbia River Highway over Rowena Crest. At Mosier we stopped to view another Glacial Erratic in the quarry. We saw a lot of waterfalls from I-84 as we drove back to Vancouver as the sun was setting.
