Today we explored the waterfalls of Columbia Gorge. We drove the Historic Highway and stopped at every waterfall taking little hikes and lots of pictures. Except at Talkeena Falls where we hiked to the top of the ridge! At Multnomah we had a delicious lunch at the historic lodge with a fabulous view of the falls! Eventually we got on I-84 and headed east. Got to Baker City, Oregon.
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Karen & Steve – glad to hear and see that you are having a great time on your journey! The Gorge has got to be one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited and the historic highway is so crazy cool, what with it’s like 20 something waterfalls all along the way (First time I ever rode down it was on a motorcycle, lots of good memories – know you guys will have some great ones too). Miss you guys:-)
PS. Little delayed on the news, but my sis had her 2nd baby boy on Sept 22 – Kenneth David Hulse, so adorable:)
Great pictures! The scenery looks pretty awsome.
