Great Pics. Our family always loves going to Oregon and along the coast. We do this about every three years. It's one of the kids favorites places to go.

I'm guessing that's the Umitilla in Pendleton? I've been there many times and never noticed what a beautifull old bridge that is.
Here's a couple of a river also on the East side in Oregon.

The shot of the bridge is just west of the town of Umatilla on HWY 730 very close to the mouth where the Umatilla river meets the Columbia.
Very nice photos of the Snake river you have there.

Thanks for playing, I hoped you would.
It’s the John Day from a trip in 08. This year summer we did 91 miles of the Grande Rhonde, ending our trip shortly after the confluence with the Snake.
You take much better photographs than me, but I do have cute kids!

Well next time you float the John Day let me know and I will bring my pontoon (9 foot Outcast) and maybe my boy (a strapping nine year old who needs to learn how to paddle).
I was thinking the Snake as I saw the raft tube.

You live in a beautiful state. We were on the coast last fall in Manzanilla. A strong windstorm came in one night and the surf was magnificent. You could actually feel kind of a bass thump when the biggest waves crashed.
