Lewis & Clark Expedition
|
Today was the most active day of
the expedition, a huge change from two
days ago when wind forced us to stay aboard the Sea Bird. We
began by visiting a local farm, typical of where the ship buys fresh
food for our
gourmet meals. |
We were
greeted by this bit of kitch when the motor coaches parked at this farm
in Hood River. |
Beyond the wagon above were rows of
stuffed doll groups
representing children's stories. |
This was the most garish of all, so
definitely made
the cut to appear on this web page. |
Its garish
colors qualified this hanging group. |
At the back of the farm was a corn field
and huge pumpkin patch, well picked over by the time we visited on
October 30. |
In the opposite direction Mount Adams was in view but mostly obscured
by the overcast. |
A more global view of the back of the
farm and its neighbors. |
With some persuasion, Mary stood for a
photo at the entrance to the corn maze. |
This paddlewheel tour boat was parked
near the dock where the |
Nearby was this statue of Sacajawea
giving a reassuring touch to her daughter Lizette Charbonneau. |
Front view of same statue. Her outfit
looks pure Hollywood. |

clutter of buildings and such. |
