Cascade Locks near Portland, OR

Today was all about getting home. We chose to drive through the middle of Washington instead of up the I-5 through Seattle and over the Coquihalla (Highway 5 and 97C) for two reasons: The border crossing near Vancouver would have very long lines on Easter Monday and a snow storm was rolling through the mountains. There are 2-3 summits on this route that are about 1700 meters or around 5600 feet. We took a pass.
Our route is relatively low and crossing the border near Osoyoos is often very quick.
After a second long day of driving we were pleased to roll up to our home near dinner time.
It's good to be home!

| Having arrived in the pitch black and pouring rain we can see that this is a really nice campground. |

| Dominic checks the oil. Mr. Thirsty likes to slurp oil some days. |

| Driving east on I-84 through the Columbia River Gorge. |
 |
| Crossing the Columbia River on our way north. |

| Mt. Rainier off in the distance. Much prettier in real life. "Has Uncle Vlad climbed that one, Mama?" |
 |
| North through the coulees on I-17 near Soap Lake |

| The Gypsy Wagon is back on Canadian soil, eh! |
