the day after we returned from camping at paulina lake, j left for a week-long business trip in new jersey. i usually have mondays free from teaching, so my mom & i went for a hike in the columbia gorge. we picked beacon rock as the day's hike. it's the core of an ancient volcano, with a mile long trail to the top, which offers beautiful views of the columbia gorge. it's a good site for rock climbing, one of j's favorite places to spend a day. certain sides of the rock are closed periodically throughout the year due to nesting raptors. after making our way to the top & down, we checked out the bonneville dam. my mom was really excited to see the fish ladders, especially the part of the exhibit where you go underground & see the large salmon swimming by the windows, fighting their way through the current.
