We left our parking spot on the Corps of Engineers facility on the banks of the Columbia River. Late last evening, just at dark, a couple of vehicles drove in and parked at the far end of the lot. We could see them out with flashlights but could not really tell what they were doing. This morning it was obvious they were setting up a tent to sleep in.

After they ate some breakfast, they were busy getting their wind surfing boards and sails assembled to go wind surfing.


The other fellow in the motor home was already up and out on the water sailing in all directions, with the wind and against the wind. Not being a sailor, I do not understand how you can sail against the wind but I have seen it done.

We only drove a short distance today to the town of Hermiston, OR. We are at camp Walmart for the night and will go on to Spokane, WA where we will hole up for a few days until we go to the location of the Hamfest on Friday to set up. We will spend the night at the school where we will be working on Saturday.

Our photos are of our camping area of last night as well as the wind surfer and the road back out to civilization and I84.
