August 2 Mt Hood - Portland

Monday, 15 August 2011

We were sad to leave our site at Hood, but we had places to be! We drove to Mt. Hood, explored Hood River and the Columbia Gorge, and had a lot of fun at Horsetail Waterfall.







Hood River is ideal for kite and wind surfers, it's a quaint little town. We had a picnic there before heading to Gresham to find our hotel.

We had booked a hotel on hotwire for the next two nights to relax a bit and explore Portland. We picked a two star in Gresham and got the Days Inn. It was off the 84 on NE181st street, not the best neighborhood, but for $53 a night, it did us fine!! We made good use of the fridge, microwave and pool. Shay found a delicious restaurant for dinner called Chai Thai on Stark Street. Very tasty and worth visiting.
