The Dallas Outing

This time I was off with Lori and Jeanette to a “cultural” outing to The Dallas. We have visited a number of different attractions in the Dallas before but had a few we had missed so far. This time we visited the remains of Lone Pine Tree Shaker Village , the Dallas Dam visitor center, the Fort Dallas Museum and Anderson house, and finished up at the Bargeway Pub for lunch.

Tom McCall Preserve

Lori, Jennette and I did short hike, between rain showers, to see the wild flowers at Tom McCall Preserve in the Columbia River Gorge. This lower section was just finishing its peak bloom and the asters were starting to bloom signaling the end of the Gorge flower season. We went for lunch at the Bargeway pub afterwards. Got to love their lunch specials.
