The Ride Back

Leaving Kennewick in the Snow...chained up AGAIN!


Approaching the Dalles Dam on the Columbia


Continuous party time as we travel...


The knitting co-pilot...left with one glove...arrived with two.


One of many many waterfalls... Worth a trip of their own.

We had quite the adventure getting to Kennewick. Our trip was timed between two storms and we had clear sailing over the pass. The trip on Rt. 82 was good climbing out of E'burg over Manastash Ridge, elev. 2800 ft. The van stopped running at the summit and after we stopped to figure things out the van started and ran effortlessly. We believe something iced up as we passed over the summit. The van ran without any hint of problem after this. We did do the dry gas additive in Kennewick.
On Jan 1 the passes were closed and we were delayed to Friday for possible trip home. Even then, the pass situation and trip to the pass was very questionable. We drove the long way home via 82, 84, the beautiful Gorge and I-5. The following pics show a bit of the fine trip.
