Cinco de mayo y el Colombia Gorge

[pdedse]

Still on the WA side of the Columbia...


Mt. Hood in the background


My brother works for BNSF...no lights, no swingarm coming down...look before you cross the tracks, just like mom taught 'ya...


hieroglyphics


I like to visit cemeteries...they make me feel alive




Lots of fruit orchards and wineries...


That's hiway 84 on the other (OR) side of the river


Back over to OR...






The spillway at The Dalles Dam


Since it was EL CINCO DE MAYO. Sol is a much better beer than Corona and Pacífico and Tecate and Victoria


Do you want to know the best beer slogan ever?
"Hasta los vampiros tomal Sol"
(Even vampires drink Sol [sun])
The play on words is that "tomar sol" means to get a tan and the same verb "tomar" means to drink...so the beer SOL tastes so good that vampires are willing to risk it all and drink...SUN. Ok, maybe something's lost in the translation...

Heading back home...if you're ever on 84 heading west, get off the hiway and take 30 west towards Mosier (or if heading east on 84, take 30 at Mosier which will take you to The Dalles where you can get back on 84). You want regret this 12 mile jog...
