Not Traveling ?

 Why not? Sure the temperature is getting higher, but why stop seeing this wonderful country. 

Earlier I stated we were staying at Lepage Campground. 

LePage Park is located at the confluence of the John Day and Columbia Rivers just five miles from Rufus, Oregon, and the John Day Dam. Popular activities include river fishing, swimming, water skiing and boating. 

Lepage is a camping\fishing destination for locals, Friday thru Sunday. However, this morning there were 4 travelers staying overnight.

Cost $35 during peak season, 1/2 with a special pass.

On DaRoad Leaving Washington and Oregon

 Friday June 21

After wrapping up everything here, we drove down to Salem, OR., to have dinner with Ann & JR Richards. Traffic on the highway, it took us over 1 1/2 Hr. to go 60 miles. 

Susan scored us a spot at the Lepage Camp ground

Overview

LePage Park is located at the confluence of the John Day and Columbia Rivers just five miles from Rufus, Oregon, and the John Day Dam. Popular activities include river fishing, swimming, water skiing and boating. 


When we arrived, we asked if there was a chance, we could spend 2 nights instead of 1. Blessing happen, as site #1 left early, This allowed us to move to it, for 2 nights. 

Our travels today, took us west on Washington 

Little Bit About Hwy 14

State Route 14 (SR 14) is a 180.66-mile-long (290.74 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Washington. The highway travels east-west on the north side of the Columbia River, opposite Interstate 84 (I-84) to the south in Oregon. SR 14 forms a section of the Lewis and Clark Trail Scenic Byway and begins at an interchange with I-5 in Vancouver. The highway travels east as a four-lane freeway through Camas and Washougal and intersects I-205. SR 14 continues east as a two-lane highway through ClarkSkamaniaKlickitat, and Benton counties before it ends at an interchange with I-82 and U.S. Route 395 (US 395) near Plymouth.

I dare say we traveled over 75 miles on this highway. Now, if you do not like 2 lane roads, winding, twisting roads with ups and downs. Going at speeds of 25 to 45 mph. Then you will not mind this road. If not, then I suggest you do not travel down the road. 

Our biggest challenge came when we took the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge. 

I failed to really pay attention , to the width of truck for this bridge. 9 Feet. That is really tight when a truck is coming your way, and our mirrors miss by 1 inch.
