Here is a photo of Barb walking the "kids", the cat was insistent on getting out of the camper and walking around as she had been couped up for several days.
We left that campground on June 24th and headed for Idaho and we stopped at a small campground along the Lochsa river called Knife Edge. This campground is great, right beside the river, which is flowing real high right now, and we have a nice campsite right by the river. there are no hookups and no water at all so you would need to have everything with you if you stopped by here but I recommend it very highly. It is very peaceful and quiet.
Here is a couple photos of us sitting in the campground after getting set up for the night.

We also drove the historic Hiway 30 that took us to the top of the gorge to Vista House. You can see the view here is great in these photos of the gorge.
This fall is called Bridal View falls due to the shape of the falls. It is a small hike down to the base of the fall to view it.
This one is called horsetail falls as it is in the shape of a horses tail and really looks that way.
We left the gorge on Monday June 23rd and drove to a small state park north of Walla Walla Wash called Lewis and Clark Trail State Park. I do not recommend this park for big rigs, the road thru the campground was narrow and brush covered and many times we brushed both sides of the trailer at the same time.
It is a small campground with no hookups or water and the sites are made for shorter rigs. I managed to squeeze into site 3 by turning the truck almost 90 deg to the fifth wheel. They also charge $17.00 a nite for a campsite plus a $5.00 fee to dump your tanks, I don't know if that is the standard rate for Wash State Parks but seems high for what you get in that campground. We saw many private campgrounds along the river after we left that state park and decided when we travel this way again we would probably stay at one of those instead.

We left Lebanon on friday June 20th and drove to Ainsworth State Park in the Columbia River Gorge. It is a nice campground, but you have both interstate noise and trains that come by about every 30 min and for some reason they like to blow their horns right there even tho there are no crossings on any of the track in the gorge.
I also recommend that you not use the dump station here if you pass thru as it slopes the wrong way and the tanks do not completely empty.
We spent 3 days here and visited the different water falls in the area, which there are many more that we did not see. Of Course the main one is Mutlnomoth falls which is 620 long. It is probably one of the most photographed falls in the world as many people were there both times we went to see it.

Silver Falls State Park
We went up to Silver Falls State Park with Marlys and Alan on Monday June 16th. It was a great spring day, weather was just perfect and the sun was shining. We needed some nice weather after a cool week at the coast. We hiked to South Falls first, then went down the trail to some of the other falls. It was a great hike. Here are some photos of the day.
