Columbia River


After leaving Seaside, we decided to head east in search for warmer weather.  We headed northeast to Portland, Oregon; and followed the Columbia River east.  This is a huge river and acts as a natural border between Oregon and Washington States.  We planned to stay at an Army Corps of Engineers park (Le Page).  We called in advance, but they were too busy to return our call to tell us that the park was full.  It worked out to our advantage as we found great FREE camping on Army Corps on Engineering property just one exit west of this park.  We camped under some very large, mature trees which provided lots of shade and I was still able to get satellite reception.  We had a full tank of water and all holding tanks were empty.  We parked on a level, paved asphalt street and I did not have to level the coach.  I rate this park F***.  I would definitly stay here again; the price is right.  We just relaxed here and took Buddy for a few strolls along the river.
