I agree, Rocky, it’s great looking country. Thanks pdedse.

Thanks...I love the Columbia River Gorge area. I grew up in the mid-west and the Kansas and Missouri Rivers were what I compared other rivers to. First few times I saw the Columbia and how wide it is at points, it took me awhile to assimilate. Later, with a little ski boat that has a depth finder, I'd find out large portions of the river are 20-40' deep, some sections 40-70'...I was used to the "depths" of the Kansas River which always seemed to be 2-8', tho' I'm sure it's deeper at points.

Just typing the above made me think, 'just how big is this river?' ...google says the Columbia is the 38th largest river in the world by volume, 52nd in length. I was surprised--I would have thought maybe top 10 or 15...but then again my measuring rod was the Kansas River.

I noticed that there are 12 rivers larger than the Columbia by volume that flow into the Amazon or tributaries that run into the Amazon. I have a lessened desire to see every corner of the world as I age, but I do think I'd like to do a mc trip of extended time in South America. I have a good, some-time riding buddy and we talk about it...I think it'd be really cool to see a river that dwarfs the Columbia.
