Monday, May 14th - The Fruit Loop Trail

This is a pic of our campsite alongside the Columbia River. We are at Memaloose State Park. The water is the Columbia River and the land on the horizon is Washington State.

It was our plan today to drive the "Fruit Loop Trail". And so we did; however, most fruit establishments are not fully open until June & July. We did stop at a Lavender farm, and apple orchard and an Alpaca ranch. There we fed the cute cousins to the llama.

After fruit looping, we drove up to the Timberline Lodge, halfway up the south face of Mt. Hood, situated at 6,000 feet. There we had a nice lunch overlooking the valley below and Mt. Jefferson to the south.
