From Pacific Shores, we moved to Woodland, Washington, a bit over twenty miles north of Portland, Oregon. This is the Columbia Riverfront RV resort. It is a nice park with excellent elbow room.
It offers good views of the Columbia River. In addition to tour boats and barges, a lot of ocean-going vessels travel past on their way to the ports of Portland and Vancouver. The sport fishing boats in a short hogline between the shore and the tank ship give some perspective on the size of some of the vessels that ply these waters. This was one of the smaller ones that passed our park. We were pleased to see a lot of grain ships heading upriver empty and return back downriver full; a sign that our farmers are doing well.
At this point, the river flows north. Reflections from the river and the dramatic shapes of the hills to the west make sunsets here pretty spectacular.
These high, wispy clouds added another source of color as the sun sank below the horizon.
The real reason we were here, however, was to go to Dave and LJ's RV Interiors. We had scheduled ourselves for a few upgrades to our coach's interior. More on that and a few other improvements we made, later.
