Day 7 - Crooked River Canyon

An overwhelming electrical array on this hill top has caused the clouds to curdle.

So, you can put yer canoe in here, and with just one short portage, reach the Columbia River - a few hundred klicks away.

Just for Tena.

The clouds were nuts all day.

grass.. sky... grass... sky...

Just for Aaron.

We know there's a massive Pacific storm just over those Cascade Mountains. For now they're doing a pretty good job holding it all at bay, but a few stray clouds make it over the top. Evidently we won't be so lucky tomorrow.

Rain falls on Lake Billy Chinook. We're high above on Round Butte.

Round Butte offers an incredible 360 view - very special on a day of such cloud drama.

The shoreline of the canyon is vertical walls right to the waterline.

It's the Crooked River for a reason.

Canyon shadow.

The Crooked River has carved the shapes, todays' incredible clouds and light complete the set.

Picnic plans go underwater.

Roadside attraction.

Always enjoy that sunshine while you can.

Drat! Stopped again!

Late day turn for home - time to get that coffee on.

Standing still.
