Day 1 – Searching for Some Sunshine
We headed south from Olympia, driving through gloomy rain showers until we were well east of Portland, Oregon. Our destination? The Total Eclipse of the sun in Texas, which will occur on April 8th. That will give us about 9 days to travel the 3,000+ miles.
I always
forget the interesting geology that is exposed in the Columbia River gorge. The
varying shapes of the basalt columns kept my interest for miles on end. Especially
this time of year, spring, there were many waterfalls spraying the cliffs, and
Multnomah Falls was roaring!
Although the afternoon had been dry, rain showers came in overnight. So we went to sleep with raindrops pattering on the camper roof.
