Day Thirteen, Road Trip/Cruise — The Vantage Bridge and Wild Horse Monument   Leave a comment

Vantage Bridge Over The Columbia River

 

The Vantage Bridge is in western Washington and carries Interstate 90 across the Columbia River,
near Vantage and George, Washington. This section of the river is named Wanapum Lake, the reservoir
formed by Wanapum Dam. The bridge separates the Ginkgo Petrified Forest and Wanapum
Recreational Area State Park on the western bank of the Columbia.

Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies (also known as the Wild Horse Monument) is a public art sculpture created
by David Govedare in 1989–1990 and situated near Vantage, Washington. It consists of 15 life-size steel horses
which appear to be galloping across a ridge above the Columbia River.

Day Four, 2023 Road Trip/Cruise — Portland, Oregon   2 comments

Our stay in Portland was at the Pineapple Rose Hotel, a funky choice in Portland boutique hotels located directly across from
Tom McCall Waterfront Park on the beautiful Willamette River, which is a major tributary to the Columbia River.
