Wasco Walk - Part Two

Part Two of our adventure.

Mt Hood

Balsamroot

Parsley

And a new-to-me bird!

A Western King Bird!

Monkeyflower

The Gorge and Columbia River

Serviceberry

Larkspur

Mt Hood

Serviceberry

And look closely!
Can you see the Western Meadowlark?
The Meadowlark is Oregon's state bird and they were singing and singing and singing.

And I have to end with yet more Balsamroot.
Our day's adventure was a perfect western daytrip / Waning family wandering.
450 miles total, eight counties, and 13 hours!
We also drove past the R2 Ranch in Wasco and Jefferson Counties. It is 47 miles long and up to 22 miles wide in places. Amazing!
