Water, water, everywhere

It was a watery day, more rain, a drive along the bottom of the sound to get to the Pacific coast for a scenic drive south toward the Columbia river.  The road was peppered with fishing towns, canneries, fish hatcheries and beach drives.  A long bridge with a tall trestle at either end across the wide mouth of the Columbia river brought us into Oregon.  We followed 30/84 along the Columbia river gorge past Portland along another scenic byway into a cute little town seemingly with a brewery every mile or so.  We ate at the Trillium Cafe, enjoying some of the local brews and some fine cuisine, with one gripe.  Who puts mayo and cheese on a meatloaf sandwich??  Sarah and I had to swap lunches as a result of the aforementioned faux pas.  We pushed on to Boise and plan to head straight to Arches tomorrow, hopefully getting there in time to enjoy a relaxing night at the campsite and then heading into Arches to start our all Utah tour.
