Mannie~ Okay. I haven't been quite that far east of The Dalles, but the landscape must extend like that for some distance through that area. What seems incredible to me is that, when you are up in that area, if you come to a place where the earth is cut away, like around a creek, there are massive basalt columns lying not too far beneath the soil. That's what I remember from along one of the roads near Dufur. I know that section of road east of White Salmon. Really nice along there and up the Klickitat River. Probably fun roads for riding a bike. And, yes, agreed... the Gorge is magical. The sense of scale is very different there. I love the cloud formations that seem to form over it. It's as much about air as it is about land and water. As for the wild turkeys. Aren't they a hoot? I often see them doing just what you've described. Zigzagging and bumping off each other as they trot along a road. Makes them very "worried" when there's something coming up behind them. Funny little fellas. ~croc
