Skamania Lodge

After spending two nights in Gibsons for the outrigger race, we went home on Sunday, did laundry, and packed up for our "camping" trip to the Gorge. We were home Sunday night and left bright and early this morning to avoid any line-ups at the border. We only had a 5-10 minute wait and drove down through scenic Washington, stopped for lunch in Leavenworth, and drove through Yakima to the Columbia River.

Here is a photo of the Columbia River from our hotel room at Skamania Lodge. It's a beautiful place with a golf course, pool, hot tub, spa and a couple of great restaurants. There is a gorgeous guest lounge where you can get your free Starbucks 24/7 and read a paper, while looking out the windows at this same view.

Some more rocks and our room is one of the ones on the top floor in the background.
