Back a LONG LONG time ago, Man and I were on our second trip "out west". Back in 2013. Ya, really. This post is from our visit to Stevenson Washington, on June 28, 2013. I really hope to some day finish off this trip. So, here is another chapter/post.
We crossed over into the state of Washington via the "Bridge of the Gods".
Before we crossed, a few photos from the Oregon side. No, I have no idea what the bedding is doing in this photo.

The Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center is a wonderful place to visit. Frankly, I was not all that impressed by the first view from the outside.
But, their collection inside was very impressive. Starting with berry gathering and storage baskets:
Petroglyph or pictographs, lovely.
Identified as a bridal veil.
1921 Mack truck:
Artifacts from the Charlie Doumitt general store collection:
You know how I felt when I saw this wall of family photos, and how I searched the names. Nope, no hits. But, still a lovely collection.
As I said the collection is extensive. And, several floors full. And, even some "walkways" way up high that were filled with more artifacts. I loved the Shaker styling of this particular piece, the old kiddy car, and the cradle of course.
Our day would finish off with a lovely drive around the Columbia Gorge, photos coming soon. Or later. Or whenever - -
