Foursome

Usually when guys our age form up a foursome, it's to play golf.  Not us........we ride.  Orv led Mike, Ross, and I on a ride up the Columbia Gorge yesterday, with all the good side roads included.  It was supposed to rain in the late afternoon, but I got home with only a few drops on me. 

This was at a stop just before lunch in Glenwood.  We had lots of great views of Mt Adams and Mt Hood on this ride. 

Orv took us to a viewpoint I had not seen before.  It was a view of the Klickitat river canyon off the Glenwood Highway.  We had to do a little off road riding to get there, though:

Not a great photo of the view, but it was pretty spectacular.

Another photo at the viewpoint; not so spectacular.

Further on we came upon another view of the Klickitat further downstream, near where it joins the Columbia. 

It was great to get all of us out together on a ride again after a long winter.  The weather was great for this time of  year, but the roads were sort of crap due to all the fine gravel in most of the corners.  It is put down during the winter to provide traction in snow and ice, but takes awhile to clear off in the Spring.  Doesn't matter........it was still a good ride on good roads with good friends.
