A last-minute opportunity presented itself and so I am taking a few days to myself as a “me-cation” in the Columbia River Gorge.

I didn’t exactly go the direct route from home to Hood River. (You are shocked, I know.) And I was rewarded with some delightful desert cloudscapes along the way.

The night ended with some delightful jazz music at the Hood River Hotel.
