April 16, 2008 – Lyle, Washington – This post will cover last week’s travel. Currently BigBus is harbored in Lyle, WA on the Columbia River Gorge. We’ve been here 5 nights already, but I’m catching up on the blog. Lyle will get it’s own post. This post is about Mt. Saint Helens and Portland, OR. First, the Volcano: Despite visiting Mt. Saint Helens, we couldn’t actually see it. This because clouds and rain prevailed both days. They did have many helpful photos in the Visitor Center, so we came away with a general understanding of the Mountain in question. April weather in the Pacific NW is really horrible.
Then on to Portland. We spent 3 days in Portland and it stopped raining long enough to take one photo. It’s the one of Basey eating a giant doughnut (See above). Aside from it’s rainy weather, Portland is a great city. If Portland had a dome over it, I might want to live there.
