More on Beacon Rock...

Ok, as promised, here's more info on the Columbia River Gorge.  I'm in Seattle now, and finally got the WiFi password figured out, so here's what I wanted to post yesterday…  Here's another view of the gorge from the top of Beacon Rock - looking in the other direction:

After climbing Beacon Rock, Theo needed his "moment of Zen" so we got down to the Columbia River to wade and see the Rock from below.  ahhhhh…

Then Carolyn and I checked out the campground there and found a cool overlook of Beacon Rock.  Nobody there!

Anyhow, after seeing the Beacon Rock area, I decided to move over to that area campground…  Here's the spot I got the second night - next to a BIG tree.

It was such a nice spot, that I decided to spend an extra day and paint a bit.  Did get about four or five hours of painting in. Here was the rock on the next morning.  Amazing to watch the light change on it from hour to hour.

 I got a short interruption from my painting by a group of Koreans who stopped by and asked if they could see the inside of Mac - Sure!  They ALL piled in.  Too funny… they oohed and ahhh'ed at at the bells and whistles…

Here's a shot of my "studio set up" there at the picnic table...
