I started the day at Edgefield. I ended the day at Memaloose State Park.

Here is a short description of the day:

the Gorge
Lounge in style till 2pm, enjoy the spectacular Columbia Gorge but not the holiday traffic, get a nice spot at a State Campground on the river

Here is a short description of the evening:

On a gentle downslope between I-84 and the railroad tracks and then the mighty Columbia River, between Hood River and The Dalles. They have a ton of tent sites (80-ish?), so I easily got a nice spot at 4 PM on Fourth of July Friday - woo! Downhill I can see the river between the trees, and hear the train when it comes through, and uphill is the constant sound of the interstate - as regular and monotonous as the Pacific surf I tell myself :)
